Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles on Live Bacterium: An Avenue to Fabricate Electronic Devices

Recently, hybrid structures of microorganisms with inorganic nanoscale moieties have received great interest owing to their potential in fabricating electronic systems. The electronic properties of metal nanoparticles, as a result of the singleelectron transport of current,[1] make them ideal materials for nanodevices. Concomitantly, the nanostructure of microorganisms such as bacteria,[2] viruses,[3, 4] and yeast[5] are [...]

Spectroscopic Studies of Carbon Nanotubes: Spectra of Bulk SWNT Suspensions, Probing SWNT Electronic Structure via Redox Chemistry, Optical Properties of Double-walled Carbon Nanotubes

Product DescriptionSpectroscopic studies were performed on carbon nanotubes including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). First, we followed the reported method to obtain the individually dispersed SWNTs with the assistance of surfactants in aqueous phase. The absorption and fluorescence [...]

Electronic Quantum Transport in Mesoscopic Semiconductor Structures

Product DescriptionThis book treats three topics of electronic quantum transport in mesoscopic semiconductor structures: the conductance in strongly interacting and disordered two-dimensional systems and the metal insulator transition, electron transport through quantum dots and quantum rings in the Coulomb-blockade regime, and scanning probe experiments on semiconductor nanostructures at cryogenic temperatures. In addition it gives a [...]
