Plasma Processing of Nanomaterials Edited by

R. Mohan Sankaran Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA Series: Nanomaterials and their Applications

CRC Press author R. Mohan Sankaran is the winner of the 2011 Peter Mark Memorial Award Plasma Processing of Nanomaterials is an in-depth guide to the art and science of plasma-based chemical processes used to synthesize, process, and modify various classes of nanoscale materials such as nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and semiconductor nanowires. Plasma technology enables a wide range of academic and industrial applications in fields including electronics, textiles, automotives, aerospace, and biomedical. A prime example is the semiconductor industry, in which engineers revolutionized microelectronics by using plasmas to deposit and etch thin films and fabricate integrated circuits. An overview of progress and future potential in plasma processing, this reference illustrates key experimental and theoretical aspects by presenting practical examples.

Features: • Describes existing challenges to synthesizing well-defined nanomaterials and subsequent applications • Provides examples of how plasma technology can be used to synthesize various classes of nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and semiconductor nanowires) • Explores the outlook for the future potential of plasma-based processes in nanomaterials synthesis • Offers contributions from world-renowned leaders in plasma processing of nanomaterials Significant advances are expected in nanoelectronics, photovoltaics, and other emerging fields as plasma technology is further optimized to improve the implementation of nanomaterials with well-defined size, shape, and composition. Moving away from the usual focus on wet techniques embraced in chemistry and physics, the author sheds light on pivotal breakthroughs being made by the smaller plasma community. Written for a diverse audience working in fields ranging from nanoelectronics and energy sensors to catalysis and nanomedicine, this resource will help readers improve development and application of nanomaterials in their own work.

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures Boris I. Kharisov, Oxana Vasilievna Kharissova, and Ubaldo Ortiz-Mendez Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades, some nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, have become very popular. However, recent research has led to the discovery of other, less common nanoforms, which often serve as building blocks for more complex structures. This book covers these structures and outlines their potential use in many current and future applications, in particular as functional blocks in electronics, batteries, catalysis, ultrahigh density data storage, and drug delivery. The text first discusses the methods used to produce nanostructures and then presents examples of various nanostructures.

Yoseph Bar-Cohen JPL/Caltech, Pasadena, California, USA

Series: Biotechnology and Bioprocessing

A review of the state of the art of biomimetics, this book documents key biological solutions that provide a model for innovations in engineering and science. Leading experts explore a wide range of topics, including artificial senses and organs; mimicry at the cell–materials interface; modeling of plant cell wall architecture; biomimetic composites; artificial muscles; biomimetic optics; and the mimicking of birds, insects, and marine biology. The author also discusses applications of biomimetics in manufacturing, products, medicine, and robotics; biologically inspired design as a tool for interdisciplinary education; and the biomimetic process in artistic creation.

In the last few decades, significant advancements in the biology and engineering of stem cells have enabled progress in their clinical application to revascularization therapies. Some strategies involve the mobilization of endogenous stem cell populations, and others employ cell transplantation. As a result, both techniques have benefited from multidisciplinary efforts to create biomaterials and other biomedical tools that can improve and control the fate of stem cells, and advance our understanding of them.

"Open a page of this book at random, and you are more likely than not to encounter carefully selected and redrawn chemical formulae and reaction paths—illuminating many of the most promising strategies for the use of chemicals in a papermaking process. Too many authors have shied away from such a graphic and explicit approach to explaining important concepts underlying chemical technology. ...a book without such effective chemical notations and reaction schemes would require a great many more words—and probably achieve less clarity and utility.

Organic spintronics, in particular, has flourished in the area of organic magneto-transport. Reflecting the main avenues of advancement in this arena, this volume explores spin injection and manipulation in organic spin valves, the magnetic field effect in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and the spin transport effect in relation to spin manipulation. It also examines organic magnets as spin injection electrodes in organic spintronics devices, the coherent control of spins in organic devices using electronically detected magnetic resonance, and the possibility of using organic spin valves as sensors.

Requiring no advanced knowledge of wave propagation, this text focuses on theoretical aspects of metamaterials, periodic composites, and layered composites. It gives novices a platform from which they can start exploring the subject in more detail. With special emphasis on elastic media and acoustics, the book covers elastodynamic, acoustic, and electrodynamic metamaterials, including negative permittivity materials, artificial magnetic metamaterials, Willis materials, and extremal materials. Mainly selfcontained, it provides detailed derivations, numerous illustrations, end-of-chapter problems, and extensive references.

University of Texas, Austin, USA

Michael V. Mirkin Queens College, New York, USA

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) is an indispensable tool for the study of surface reactivity, and scientists are increasingly attracted to this method because of its simplicity of use and quantitative results. The fast expansion of the SECM field during the last several years has been fueled by the introduction of new probes, commercially available instrumentation, and new practical applications. This book offers essential background and in-depth overviews of specific applications. This edition, thoroughly updated, retains original chapters and offers four new chapters covering applications that have emerged or expanded since the first edition's publication.

Texas A&M University, College Station, USA

Solid-state NMR is an extraordinarily powerful method that is widely applied in materials chemistry and is constantly being developed through application of new techniques and approaches. As the most exciting direction of modern materials science, the controlled design of new materials requires constant application of new methods. Although young scientists are familiar with solution NMR, the solid-state version of this method often remains a black box. This book describes experimental problems in solid-state NMR while avoiding unnecessary theoretical details. The text covers amorphous and diamagnetic materials, paramagnetic effects, the porous system, and more.
