Nanoscopic Electrofocusing for Bio-Nanoelectronic Devices - IOP Concise Physics

Marc Notes: Version: 20150101--Title page verso.; A Morgan & Claypool publication as part of IOP Concise Physics--Title page verso.; Includes bibliographical references.; The ability to arrange precisely designed patterns of nanoparticles into a desired spatial configuration is the key to creating novel nanoscale devices that take advantage of the unique properties of nanomaterials. While two-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles have been demonstrated successfully by various techniques, a controlled way of building ordered arrays of three-dimensional (3D) nanoparticle structures remains challenging. This book describes a new technique called the 'nanoscopic lens' which is able to produce a variety of 3D nano-structures in a controlled manner. This ebook describes the nanoscopic lens technique and how it can serve as the foundation for device development that is not limited to a variety of optical, magnetic and electronic devices, but can also create a wide range of bio-nanoelectronic devices.; Also published in print.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Michael R. Hamblin Ph. D. is a Principal Investigator at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, an Associate Professor of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School and the affiliated faculty of Harvard-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology.
