Compare Transport Phenomena In Micro- And Nanoscale Functional Materials And Devices by Joao B. Sousa, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Transport Phenomena in Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Materials and Devicesoffers a pragmatic view on transport phenomena for micro- and nanoscale materials and devices, both as a research tool and as a means to implant new functions in materials. Chapters emphasize transport properties (TP) as a research tool at the micro/nano level and give an experimental view on underlying techniques. The relevance of TP is highlighted through the interplay between a micro/nanocarrier's characteristics and media characteristics: long/short-range order and disorder excitations, couplings, and in energy conversions. Later sections contain case studies on the role of transport properties in functional nanomaterials. This includes transport in thin films and nanostructures, from nanogranular films, to graphene and 2D semiconductors and spintronics, and from read heads, MRAMs and sensors, to nano-oscillators and energy conversion, from figures of merit, micro-coolers and micro-heaters, to spincaloritronics. Presents a pragmatic description of electrical transport phenomena in micro- and nanoscale materials and devices from an experimental viewpointProvides an in-depth overview of the experimental techniques available to measure transport phenomena in micro- and nanoscale materialsFeatures case studies to illustrate how each technique worksHighlights emerging areas of interest in micro- and nanomaterial transport phenomena, including spintronics | Transport Phenomena In Micro- And Nanoscale Functional Materials And Devices by Joao B.
