Reihe: NanoScience and Technology

This book
is focused on recent advances in the development of thin films for photovoltaic
applications, TiO2/WO3 bi-layers for applications with enhanced photo-catalytic
properties, nanometer oxide and hydroxide films for anticorrosive coatings,
surface passivation in chemical industries, micro- and nanoelectronics,
trilayers of metglas and lead free piezoelectrics for magnetic field sensors,
current sensors, spintronics, microwave and read/write devices. Diluted
ferromagnetic alloy films are also considered for superconducting spintronics
based on superconducting spin-valves. Thermal properties of segmented nanowires
are analyzed with respect to thermoelectric applications. Recent advances in
template production of nanocomposites are also reviewed with particular focus
on technologies for template assisted formation of metal nanotubes. Some
elements related to abrasive flow machining (AFM), specifically state of the
art elements of technological systems and construction of equipment are
presented. The book is written for researchers in materials science,
nanotechnologies, PhD students and graduate student.
