Morgan & Claypool Nanoscopic Electrofocusing for Bio-Nanoelectronic Devices (IOP Concise Physics)

The ability to arrange precisely designed patterns of nanoparticles into a desired spatial configuration is the key to creating novel nanoscale devices that take advantage of the unique properties of nanomaterials. While two-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles have been demonstrated successfully by various techniques, a controlled way of building ordered arrays of three-dimensional (3D) nanoparticle structures remains challenging. This book describes a new technique called the 'nanoscopic lens' which is able to produce a variety of 3D nano-structures in a controlled manner. This ebook describes the nanoscopic lens technique and how it can serve as the foundation for device development that is not limited to a variety of optical, magnetic and electronic devices, but can also create a wide range of bio-nanoelectronic devices. About the Author Dr Shanmugamurthy Lakshmanan is a Research Scientist at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts. His research focus is on connecting Nanotechnology with Ancient Indian Medical technologies namely Siddha and Ayurveda.
