CRC Press Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanotubes and Nanowires - CRC Press

Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanotubes and Nanowires by CRC Press provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental physics and cutting-edge applications of nanotubes and nanowires. This peer-reviewed reference explores the critical developments that emerged from 1990s research on fullerenes and nanoparticles, progressing into practical applications of these nanoscale materials. The handbook features broad-based chapter introductions that establish context before diving into rigorous scientific content, supplemented by fundamental equations and illustrations including colour figures. Each chapter delivers state-of-the-art scientific information whilst maintaining accessibility for researchers and professionals entering the field. Coverage includes key aspects of carbon nanotubes with detailed exploration of quantum phenomena and electron transport properties that define nanomaterial behaviour and performance.
