CRC Press Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanotubes and Nanowires

Explore the essential physics and practical applications of nanoscale materials with the Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanotubes and Nanowires. Published by CRC Press, this technical reference tracks the scientific evolution from 1990s research on fullerenes, nanoparticles, and quantum dots to the modern study of nanotubes and nanowires. This volume provides a deep look into the fundamental physics governing these structures. Each peer-reviewed chapter is designed to build a strong foundation through broad-based introductions, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students. The text uses fundamental equations and illustrations, including some in color, to help clarify state-of-the-art scientific content. Readers will find comprehensive coverage of key aspects of carbon nanotubes, including detailed information on quantum and electron transport. Whether you are studying the properties of these materials or looking for the latest developments in their application, this handbook serves as a detailed guide to the science of nanotubes and nanowires.
