Nanomaterials in Rocket Propulsion Systems covers the fundamentals
of nanomaterials and examines a wide range of innovative
applications, presenting the current state-of-the-art in the field.
Opening with a chapter on nano-sized energetic materials, the book
examines metal nanoparticles-based fuels, ballistic modifiers,
stabilizers and catalysts as the components of rocket propellants.
Hydrogen storage materials for rocket propulsion based on nanotubes
are then discussed, as are nano-porous materials and metal organic
frameworks, nano-gelled propellants, nano-composite ablators and
ceramic nano-composites. Other applications examined include high
thermal conductivity metallic nano-composite nozzle liners,
nano-emitters for Coulomb propulsion of space-crafts, and highly
thermostable nano-ceramics for rocket motors. The book finishes
with coverage of combustion of nano-sized rocket fuels,
nano-particles and their combustion in micro- and
nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), plasma propulsion and
nano-scale physics. Users will find this to be a valuable resource
for academic and government institutions, professionals, new
researchers and graduate students working in the application of
nanomaterials in the aerospace industry.
Nanoelectronics: Devices, Circuits and Systems explores current and
emerging trends in the field of nanoelectronics, from both a
devices-to-circuits and circuits-to-systems perspective. It covers
a wide spectrum and detailed discussion on the field of
nanoelectronic devices, circuits and systems. This book presents an
in-depth analysis and description of electron transport phenomenon
at nanoscale dimensions. Both qualitative and analytical approaches
are taken to explore the devices, circuit functionalities and their
system applications at deep submicron and nanoscale levels. Recent
devices, including FinFET, Tunnel FET, and emerging materials,
including graphene, and its applications are discussed. In
addition, a chapter on advanced VLSI interconnects gives clear
insight to the importance of these nano-transmission lines in
determining the overall IC performance. The importance of
integration of optics with electronics is elucidated in the
optoelectronics and photonic integrated circuit sections of this
book. This book provides valuable resource materials for scientists
and electrical engineers who want to learn more about nanoscale
electronic materials and how they are used.
Synthesis, Technology and Applications of Carbon Nanomaterials
explores the chemical properties of different classes of carbon
nanomaterials and their major applications. As carbon nanomaterials
are used for a variety of applications due to their versatile
properties and characteristics, this book discusses recent advances
in synthesis methods, characterization, and applications of 0D -3D
dimensional carbon nanomaterials. It is an essential resource for
readers focusing on carbon nanomaterials research.
Basic Physics of Nanoscience: Traditional Approaches and New
Aspects at the Ultimate Level deals with the description of
properties at the Nano level and self-organizing quantum processes
of Nano systems. The book presents the state of the art as well as
theoretical discussions of future developments, beginning with
simple Nano systems' sensitivity to small variations in interaction
potential compared to bulk cases, and continuing with a discussion
of the structure and dynamics of Nano systems as a function of
temperature. Additionally, the book analyzes self-organizing
quantum processes-which are essential in the design of new Nano
systems-in detail, and explores new aspects related to the quantum
theoretical nature of time, leading to an expansion of the basic
laws through nanotechnology. Finally, the book explores the effect
of nanotechnological manipulations of brain functions and the need
for the development of reliable models for the matter-mind complex.
This innovative approach to understanding Nano systems makes Basic
Physics of Nanoscience a vital resource for advanced students and
researchers of physics, materials science, and neuroscience.
