Beschreibung
This book focuses on the latest advances in the field of nanomaterials synthesis and processes, and provides a comprehensive overview of the state of art of research in this rapidly developing field. The book is divided into 11 chapters on various aspects of nanomaterials, moving from the synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide to graphene quantum dots and other interesting nanomaterials. Some chapters based on theoretical simulation of nanomaterials and their properties and applications of nanomaterials have also presented in this book. Given the depth and breadth of coverage, the book offers a valuable guide for researchers and students working in the area of nanomaterials.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Zishan Husain Khan, Professor at the Department of Applied Sciences & Humanities, Faculty of Engineering & Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University), New Delhi, has been working in the field of nanotechnology since December 2001. He has almost 20 years of research experience in semiconductor physics and nanotechnology. He has published more than 102 research papers in reputed international journals and has guided a number of PhD students. He has presented many research papers in various national and international conferences. He has completed several research projects on various topics in nanotechnology. He has worked at several positions in universities abroad. In 2001, Dr. Khan was selected for pursuing postdoctoral research in nanotechnology at the Center of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Hsinchu, Taiwan. He joined this research program in December 2001 and completed it in February 2005. During his postdoctoral fellowship, he worked on different aspects of nanomaterials with special emphasis on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). His work on current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of individual CNTs for CNT-based field effect transistor (FET) was highly appreciated by the scientific community. To carry out this research work, he employed the technique of photolithography to design a mask and subsequently used e-beam lithography to connect an individual CNT to fabricate a nanodevice.With this significant experience in nanotechnology, Dr. Khan was selected to establish a Center of Nanotechnology at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2007. Dr. Khan worked as an Associate Professor at this Center until July 2012. During his stay there, he established world-class facilities in nanotechnology with a cleanroom of level 100. He was also actively involved in designing various courses in nanotechnology. He also acted as a reviewer for many international journals of high repute. In addition,he has edited several special issues for reputed international journals. Dr. Khan has edited two books entitled Recent Trends in Nanotechnology & Renewable Energy published by Bharti Publications, Delhi (India) and Advances in Nanomaterials published by Springer.
