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.
