Abstract:One-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures possess many extraordinary structural and physical/chemical properties, and are pursued for a number of innovative devices and material systems in nano science and engineering, such as nano electronics, sensors and composites. Due to their large surface-to-volume ratios, the interface in these nanostructure-based material systems plays important roles in their functionalities and performance. In this chapter, we review the fundamental knowledge of in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
