Reihe: Topics in Applied Physics

The carbon nanotubes field has evolved substantially since the 2001 publication of the editors’ bestselling Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications. Like the first volume, this second volume integrates physics, chemical physics, and applications for a unique perspective on nanotubes. It builds on the success of its predecessor by focusing on those areas that have grown rapidly since publication of the first volume. Contributing authors reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the book and are all leaders in their particular areas of research. Careful editing by the renowned team of editors ensures that articles are thorough, accurate, and easy to follow. Throughout the presentation, the authors highlight new and emerging applications and point out directions for future research. Extensive use of illustrations enables researchers in nanotechnology to better understand and visualize key concepts and processes.

Über Autor(innen)

A. Jorio received his Ph.D in Physics from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 1999. He is a Professor of Physics at UFMG since 2002, and is a conseillor of the Brazilian National Institute of Metrology (INMETRO) since 2006. He worked previously in various reserach institutes like the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA, and has been awarded with the PROFIX and Productivity grants from Brazil. He co-authored with Profs. Dresselhaus a book of the applications of group theory to condensed matter physics. His research activities cover the optical properties of nanomaterials and the fundamental aspects of nanometrology.

M. S. Dresselhaus received her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago, in 1958. She is an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has been active in many aspects of condensed matter and materials research with particular emphasis on carbon science including nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, but also including nanowires and other nanomaterials systems relevant to low dimensional thermoelectricity. She is the recipient of the National Medal of Science in the US and 24 honorary degrees worldwide. She served as the Director of the Office of Science at the DOE in 2000--2001 and co-chaired a DOE report "Basic Research Needs for the Hydrogen Economy (2003).

G. Dresselhaus received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California in 1955. He was a faculty member at the University of Chicago, and on the physics faculty at Cornell University before joining the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1960 as a staff member. In 1976 he assumed his current senior staff position at the MIT Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory. His area of interest is the electronic structure of nanomaterials and he has co-authored with M.S. Dresselhaus several books on fullerenes, nanowires,and nanotubes.
