Description
American Scientific Publishers Handbook Of Nanoceramics And Their Based Nanodevices 5 Vol Set (Hb 2009) by Tseng T
The field of nanoceramics has witnessed a tremendous growth as evidenced by the ever-growing numbers of research publications, patents, scientific meetings, specialized workshops and symposia organized to disseminate and exchange information on the science, technology and applications of nanoceramics. Handbook of Nanoceramics and Their Based Nanodevices summarizes all experimental and theoretical aspects of the nanoceramics to bring a broader awareness and understanding of the most recent emerging new advances of nanoceramics from science to engineering to medicine. This book focuses on an interdisciplinary approach of nanoceramics by blending their nanoscale chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. The book include research topics related to nanoscale ceramic materials such as functional nanoceramics, structural nanoceramics, oxide nanoceramics, nitride nanoceramics, carbide nanoceramics, sulfide nanoceramics, phosphide nanoceramics, metal-ceramic nanocomposites, polymer-ceramic nanocomposites, ceramic-ceramic nanocomposites, phase transformation and relationships, structure characterization at nano/microscale, phase transformation, defects, thermodynamics, kinetics, doped nanoceramics, oxide nanocrystals, oxide nanoparticles/dots, oxide nanorods, oxide nanowires, oxide nanotubes, nanoceramic bulk materials, bioceramics, nanoceramic thin films, micro- and nano-fabrication of ceramics, ceramic nanopowders and colloids, synthesis methods of nanoceramics, ceramic processing and manufacturing, microscopic characterization, micro/nanostructures electrical, electronic, magnetic, optoelectronic, optical, thermal, mechanical, dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric properties of nanoceramics, nanoceramics for fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, gas sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, nanolasers, field emission displays, photonic devices, capacitors, nonvolatile memories, information storage devices, fiber optics, ceramic armor, semiconductors, transistors, catalytic, structural, biological, surface coatings, electrochemical and environmental sensing applications, low and high-k ceramics for nanoelectronic applications, environmental applications, photonic, magnetic and bioceramic applications, modeling approaches, etc. This book is intended for a very wide range of audience therefore it will cover all aspects of ceramics from science to engineering and device applications. Broadly speaking, all aspects dealing with the chemistry, physics, engineering and biology of nanoscale ceramic materials and their based device will be covered.
