This book covers various facets of nanomaterials and their applications including low-dimensional materials along with discussions on vitro cell imaging, bioanalyses, UV laser applications of Scheelite-type nanomaterials, and Nano-sized cyano-bridged metal organic framework including high spin transition metal ions. It explains Transition Metal Dichalcogenides, and Magnetic Tunnel Junction devices as an alternative to CMOS devices. One of the main aims of this book is to grow interest towards the atomistic simulation process and characterization of these nanoscale devices.
1 Details the recent advances in the application of nanomaterials for nanoelectronics devices, sensors and memories
2 Describes the first-principle approach towards ultra-sensitive electrically doped bio sensors
3 Discusses the application of nanomaterials in Spintronic Devices specifically Magnetic Tunnel Junction device with new architectures.
4 Covers nanomaterials in water purification and conducting polymer nanocomposites in electrochemical supercapacitors
5 Presents theoretical background of next generation MRI contrast agent with nano-sized cyanobridged metal organic framework including high spin transition metal ions
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in materials engineering and nanoelectronics.
