Nanomaterials and Devices: Processing and Applications

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This volume collects 49 selected, peer-reviewed papers from the eponymous December 2008 conference jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee's Centre of Nanotechnology and Department of Metallurgical and Material Engineering. The papers address the following topics: electrical transport in nanomaterials, optical properties of nanomaterials, magnetic properties of nano-oxide/metallic powders and thin film, nanomaterials with dielectric and ferroelectric properties, severe plastic deformation to achieve ultra fine grains, nanomaterials for energy storage applications, bulk nanocrystaline materials from amorphous materials, thermal treatment of nanoscale materials, intermetallic nanomaterials by mechanical alloying, corrosion behavior of nanomaterials, single and double walled carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, quantum dots, nano-devices and sensors, and biocompatible and biodegradable nanomaterials.
