One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, including nanowires, nanotubes and quantum wires, have been regarded as the most promising building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. Worldwide efforts in both theory andexperimental investigations have driven the growth, characterization and applications of 1D nanostructures into an advanced, multidisciplinary field. This book presents exciting, state-of-the-art developments in synthesis and properties of 1D nanostructures with many kinds of morphologies and compositions (semiconductor, metal, carbon, etc.) as well as their considerable impact on spintronics, information storage, and the design of field-effect transistors. Covers the most promising building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. Emphasizes unified mechanisms behind the diversity of one-dimensional nanostructures. Describes improved control over growth for new functionality. Multidisciplinary scope with international authorship. Serves as a practical and authoritative reference for graduate students through researchers.
