Publication date: 2007 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 1397898127043531 ISBN-13: Description: The field of nanotubes and nanowires is evolving at a rapid pace, with many potential applications in electronics, optics, and sensors, to name a few. In this special issue, several groups summarize some of these potential applications, although the list is by no means extensive. Rather, it is meant to serve as a flavor of and snapshot of the current state of the art in the field of nanotubes and nanowires. There is an ample mix of experimental, theoretical, and visionary material in this book to give the reader an indication of where the field is now, and where it is going.
