| Title | Inorganic Nanoarchitectures by Organic Self-Assembly |
| Author(s) | Guldin, Stefan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. |
| Description | XVII, 165 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Macromolecular self-assembly - driven by weak, non-covalent, intermolecular forces - is a common principle of structure formation in natural and synthetic organic materials. The variability in material arrangement on the nanometre length scale makes this an ideal way of matching?? the structure-function demands of photonic and optoelectronic devices. However, suitable soft matter systems typically lack the appropriate photoactivity, conductivity or chemically stability. This thesis explores the implementation of soft matter design principles for inorganic thin film nanoarchitectures. Sacrificial block copolymers and colloids are employed as structure-directing agents for the co-assembly of solution-based inorganic materials, such as TiO_2 and SiO_2.?? Novel fabrication and characterization methods allow unprecedented control of material formation on the 10 ??? 500 nm length scale, allowing the design of material architectures with interesting photonic and optoelectronic properties |

| Title | Ferroelectric Domain Walls : Statics, Dynamics, and Functionalities Revealed by Atomic Force Microscopy |
| Author(s) | Guyonnet, Jill |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XV, 159 p. 96 illus., 17 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Using the nanometric resolution of atomic force microscopy techniques, this work explores the rich fundamental physics and novel functionalities of domain walls in ferroelectric materials, the nanoscale interfaces separating regions of differently oriented spontaneous polarization. Due to the local symmetry-breaking caused by the change in polarization, domain walls are found to possess an unexpected lateral piezoelectric response, even when this is symmetry-forbidden in the parent material. This has interesting potential applications in electromechanical devices based on ferroelectric domain patterning. Moreover, electrical conduction is shown to arise at domain walls in otherwise insulating lead zirconate titanate, the first such observation outside of multiferroic bismuth ferrite, due to the tendency of the walls to localize defects. The role of defects is then explored in the theoretical framework of disordered elastic interfaces possessing a characteristic roughness scaling and complex dynamic response. It is shown that the heterogeneous disorder landscape in ferroelectric thin films leads to a breakdown of the usual self-affine roughness, possibly related to strong pinning at individual defects. Finally, the roles of varying environmental conditions and defect densities in domain switching are explored, and shown to be adequately modelled as a competition between screening effects and pinning |

| Title | In-situ Materials Characterization : Across Spatial and Temporal Scales |
| Author(s) | Ziegler, Alexander;Graafsma, Heinz;Zhang, Xiao Feng;Frenken, Joost W.M |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014. |
| Description | XI, 256 p. 124 illus., 78 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The behavior of nanoscale materials can change rapidly with time either because the environment changes rapidly, or because the influence of the environment propagates quickly across the intrinsically small dimensions of nanoscale materials. Extremely fast time resolution studies using X-rays, electrons and neutrons are of very high interest to many researchers and is a fast-evolving and interesting field for the study of dynamic processes. Therefore, in situ structural characterization and measurements of structure-property relationships covering several decades of length and time scales (from atoms to millimeters and femtoseconds to hours) with high spatial and temporal resolutions are crucially important to understand the synthesis and behavior of multidimensional materials. The techniques described in this book will permit access to the real-time dynamics of materials, surface processes, and chemical and biological reactions at various time scales. This book provides an interdisciplinary reference for research using in situ techniques to capture the real-time structural and property responses of materials to surrounding fields using electron, optical, and x-ray microscopies (e.g., scanning, transmission, and low-energy electron microscopy, and scanning probe microscopy), or in the scattering realm with x-ray, neutron and electron diffraction |

| Title | Vortex, Molecular Spin and Nanovorticity : An Introduction |
| Author(s) | McCormack, Percival |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. |
| Description | VII, 136 p. 71 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The subject of this book is the physics of vortices. A detailed analysis of the dynamics of vortices will be presented. The important topics of vorticity and molecular spin will be dealt with, including the electromagnetic analogy and quantization in superfluids. The effect of molecular spin on the dynamics of molecular nano-confined fluids using the extended Navier-Stokes equations will also be covered ???especially important to the theory and applicability of nanofluidics and associated devices. The nanoscale boundary layer and nanoscale vortex core are regions of intense vorticity (molecular spin). It will be shown, based on molecular kinetic theory and thermodynamics, that the macroscopic (solid body) rotation must be accompanied by internal rotation of the molecules. Electric polarization of the internal molecular rotations about the local rotation axis ???the Barnett effect ??? occurs. In such a spin aligned system, major changes in the physical properties of the fluid result |

| Title | Electrical Properties of Graphite Nanoparticles in Silicone : Flexible Oscillators and Electromechanical Sensing |
| Author(s) | Littlejohn, Samuel David |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XV, 166 p. 92 illus., 82 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis examines a novel class of flexible electronic material with great potential for use in the construction of stretchable amplifiers and memory elements.?? Most remarkably the composite material produces spontaneous oscillations that increase in frequency when pressure is applied to it. In this way, the material mimics the excitatory response of pressure-sensing neurons in the human skin. The composites, formed of silicone and graphitic nanoparticles, were prepared in several allotropic forms and functionalized with naphthalene diimide molecules. A systematic study is presented of the negative differential resistance (NDR) region of the current-voltage curves, which is responsible for the material???s active properties. This study was conducted as a function of temperature, graphite filling fraction, scaling to reveal the break-up of the samples into electric field domains at the onset of the NDR region, and an electric-field induced metal-insulator transition in graphite nanoparticles. The effect of molecular functionalization on the miscibility threshold and the current-voltage curves is demonstrated. Room-temperature and low-temperature measurements were performed on these composite films under strains using a remote-controlled, custom-made step motor bench |

| Title | Nano-Structures for Optics and Photonics : Optical Strategies for Enhancing Sensing, Imaging, Communication and Energy Conversion |
| Author(s) | Di Bartolo, Baldassare;Collins, John;Silvestri, Luciano |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2015. |
| Description | XXXVI, 586 p. 253 illus., 167 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The contributions in this volume were presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Erice, Italy, 4-19 July 2013. Many aspects of important research into nanophotonics, plasmonics, semiconductor materials and devices, instrumentation for bio sensing to name just a few, are covered in depth in this volume.?? The growing connection between optics and electronics, due to the increasing important role plaid by semiconductor materials and devices, find their expression in the term photonics, which also reflects the importance of the photon aspect of light in the description of the performance of several optical systems. Nano-structures have unique capabilities that allow the enhanced performance of processes of interest in optical and photonic devices. In particular these structures permit the nanoscale manipulation of photons, electrons and atoms; they represent a very hot topic of research and are relevant to many devices and applications. The various subjects bridge over the disciplines of physics, biology and chemistry, making this volume of interest to people working in these fields. The emphasis is on the principles behind each technique and on examining the full potential of each technique |
