This is the second volume in a series of books on selected topics
in Nanoscale Science and Technology based on lectures given at the
well-known INFN schools of the same name. The aim of this
collection is to provide a reference corpus of suitable,
introductory material to relevant subfields, as they mature over
time, by gathering the significantly expanded and edited versions
of tutorial lectures, given over the years by internationally known
experts. The present set of notes stems in particular from the
participation and dedication of prestigious lecturers, such as
Andrzej Huczko, Nicola Pugno, Alexander Malesevic, Pasquale Onorato
and Stefano Bellucci. All lectures were subsequently carefully
edited and reworked, taking into account the extensive follow-up
discussions. A tutorial lecture by Huczko et al. shows how a
variety of carbon and ceramic nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires,
nanofibres, nanorods, and nanoencapsulates) have in particular
great potential for improving our understanding of the fundamental
concepts of the roles of both dimensionality and size on physical
material properties . Bellucci and Onorato provide an extensive and
tutorial review of the (quantum) transport properties in carbon
nanotubes, encompassing a description of the electronic structure
from graphene to single-wall nanotubes, as well as a discussion of
experimental evidence of superconductivity in carbon nanotubes and
the corresponding theoretical interpretation. In the first
contribution by Pugno, new ideas on how to design futuristic
self-cleaning, super-adhesive and releasable hierarchical smart
materials are presented. He also reviews the mechanical strength of
such nanotubes and megacables, with an eye to the visionary project
of a carbon nanotube-based 'space elevator megacable'. In his
second contribution, Pugno outlines in detail the role on the
fracture strength of thermodynamically unavoidable atomistic
defects with different size and shape, both numerically and
theoretically, for nanotubes and nanotube bundles. Focusing on
graphitic allotropes, the chapter by Bellucci and Malesevic aims to
give a taste of the widespread implications carbon nanostructures
have on research and applications, starting from an historical
overview, followed by a discussion of the structure and physical
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene, in particular in the
context of the several different synthesis techniques presently
available.
