Nanostructured Semiconductors in Porous Alumina Matrices: Modeling, Synthesis, and Properties

Description

"This book, Nanostructured Semiconductors in Porous Alumina Matrices: Modeling, Synthesis, and Properties, explores new developments in the modeling, synthesis, and properties of functional semiconductor nanostructures in porous anodic alumina matrices. The book focuses on luminescent nanoparticles in organic and inorganic dielectric matrixes, specifically in porous alumina films, as these are most relevant due to their capacity for particle division and ability to provide environmental protection. With a particular emphasis on experimental and theoretical studies of the synthesis processes, the book informs readers about these nanostructures through rigorous investigation of their properties. The book, which is divided into ten chapters, begins with a discussion of the existing literature on nanostructural electroluminescent light sources (ELS). This overview establishes a foundation for the remaining nine chapters, which explore in depth many facets of nanostructured materials: their composition, processes they undergo, how they may be implemented, etc. Within these chapters, experimental studies and results are incorporated, in addition to detailed descriptions of simulations that highlight different uses of these materials. The book also includes mathematical models of nanofilm formation to better illustrate the processes in question. Throughout the book, there is a large focus on outlining the formation of functional semiconductor nanostructures. The book concludes with research that emphasizes the results of simulation and experimental investigation and uses these findings to consider the trajectory for future research. Nanostructured Semiconductors in Porous Alumina Matrices will be especially helpful for professors, researchers, and students who wish to further explore the field. It also provides substantial information to engineers working in the field of nanotechnology, as well as to other individuals expressing interest in this topic."--  Read more... 1.
