Transport Phenomena in Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Materials and DevicesAuthor(s): Joao B. Sousa, Joo Oliveira Ventura, Andre Pereira\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: William Andrew Publishing, United States\nImprint: William Andrew Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780323460972, 978-0323460972\nSynopsis\nTransport Phenomena in Micro- and Nanoscale Functional Materials and Devices offers a pragmatic view on transport phenomena for micro- and nanoscale materials and devices, both as a research tool and as a means to implant new functions in materials. Chapters emphasize transport properties (TP) as a research tool at the micro/nano level and give an experimental view on underlying techniques. The relevance of TP is highlighted through the interplay between a micro/nanocarriers characteristics and media characteristics: long/short-range order and disorder excitations, couplings, and in energy conversions. Later sections contain case studies on the role of transport properties in functional nanoma.
