Transport Phenomena in Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Materials and Devices Micro and Nano Technologies Series
Auteurs : Sousa Joao B., Ventura Joao O., Pereira Andre
Transport Phenomena in Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Materials and Devices offers 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.
Academics focusing in the areas of materials characterization, materials chemistry, molecular engineering, 2D nanomaterials and spintronics. The book will also appeal to engineers working in device modelling seeking to understand how micro/nanomanipulation can increase the efficiency of electronic transport.
João Oliveira Ventura is a Principal Researcher at the Institute of Physics for Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology and Photonics (IFIMUP), a leading research unit of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, Portugal, where he works in nanoelectronics and energy harvesting materials since 2008. His research interests include spintronics and spin-dependent transport, the fundamental properties of nanostructured materials, magnetic nanostructures, nanogenerators, thin film deposition and lithography. He is the author of more than 160 articles in peer-reviewed international journals and one granted patent. He is currently the vice-president of IFIMUP and the vice-director of the Micro- and Nano-Fabrication Unit of the University of Porto (CEMUP-MNTEC).
