Synopses & Reviews
The contributions to Nanowires include the theoretical basis of the conduction mechanisms in low dimensional systems, worked-out calculations on the electronic structure and mechanical behaviour of metallic nanowires, the role of defects and geometry in conductance, the study of the conductance quantization phenomenon, the analysis of conductance histograms, the presentation of different techniques of fabrication and manipulation of nanowires, the analysis of forces appearing in nanowires and their relation to electronic conduction, and more.Audience: Researchers familiar with the field as well as those new to it, since several contributions review research conducted during recent years.
Book News Annotation:
The proceedings of the September 1996 workshop include 28
contributions written from either a theoretical or experimental
perspective. Topics include the basis of the conductance mechanisms
in low dimensional systems; the electronic structure and mechanical
behavior of metallic nanowires; the role of defects and geometry in
conductance; the conductance quantization phenomenon; the analysis of
conductance histograms; the origin of the residual resistance;
techniques of fabrication and manipulation of nanowires; and forces
appearing in nanowires and their relation with the electronic
conduction.
