Electronic Properties of Molecular Nanostructures: XV International Winterschool/Euroconference

From Book News, Inc.
Contains 136 papers from the March 2001 conference on fullerene materials and carbon nanotubes. Characterization techniques for fullerenes and their derivatives are presented, as are new developments relating to the synthesis of oriented carbon nanotubes, polymer composites, and nanowires. The mechanical and electronic properties of molecular nanostructures are canvassed, and these properties are highlighted in a discussion of potential applications. Example topics are nonadiabatic channels in fullerene compounds, synthesis and Raman spectroscopy of fullerene peapods, electrical transport through carbon nanotube junctions, and graphite nanowires embedded in diamond-like carbon films.
