Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions

Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions

The properties of strongly correlated electrons confined in two dimensions are a forefront area of modern condensed matter physics. In the past two or three decades strongly correlated electron systems have garnered a great deal of scientific interest due to their unique and often unpredictable behavior. Two of many examples are the metallic state and the metal–insulator transition discovered in 2D semiconductors: phenomena that cannot occur in noninteracting systems. Tremendous efforts have been made in both theory and experiment to create an adequate understanding of the situation; however a consensus has still not been reached. Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions compiles and details cutting-edge research in experimental and theoretical physics of strongly correlated electron systems by leading scientists in the field. The book covers recent theoretical work exploring the quantum criticality of Mott and Wigner–Mott transitions experiments on the metal–insulator transition and related phenomena in clean and dilute systems the effect of spin and isospin degrees of freedom on low-temperature transport in two dimensions electron transport near the 2D Mott transition experimentally observed temperature and magnetic field dependencies of resistivity in silicon-based systems with different levels of disorder and microscopic theory of the interacting electrons in two dimensions. Edited by Sergey Kravchenko a prominent experimentalist this book will appeal to advanced graduate-level students and researchers specializing in condensed matter physics nanophysics and low-temperature physics especially those involved in the science of strong correlations 2D semiconductors and conductor–insulator transitions.

Oxide Spintronics

Oxide Spintronics

Oxide materials have been used in mainstream semiconductor technology for several decades and have served as important components such as gate insulators or capacitors in integrated circuits. However in recent decades this material class has emerged in its own right as a potential contender for alternative technologies generally designated as ‘beyond Moore’. The 2004 discovery by Ohtomo and Hwang was a global trendsetter in this context. It involved observing a two-dimensional high-mobility electron gas at the heterointerface between two insulating oxides LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 supported by the rise of nascent deposition and growth-monitoring techniques which was an important direction in materials science research. The quest to understand the origin of this unparalleled physical property and to find other emergent properties has been an active field of research in condensed matter that has united researchers with expertise in diverse fields such as thin-film growth defect control advanced microscopy semiconductor technology computation magnetism and electricity spintronics nanoscience and nanotechnology. | Oxide Spintronics

Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Every electrochemical source of electric current is composed of two electrodes with an electrolyte in between. Since storage capacity depends predominantly on the composition and design of the electrodes most research and development efforts have been focused on them. Considerably less attention has been paid to the electrolyte a battery’s basic component. This book fills this gap and shines more light on the role of electrolytes in modern batteries. Today limitations in lithium-ion batteries result from non-optimal properties of commercial electrolytes as well as scientific and engineering challenges related to novel electrolytes for improved lithium-ion as well as future post-lithium batteries. | Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Over the past decade plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research owing to their remarkable optical properties. These properties arise from a collective oscillation of the conductive electrons at the nanoparticle surface under light irradiation known as localized surface plasmon (LSP). LSP is characterized by (i) a strong absorption and scattering of the light depending on the geometrical parameters of the nanoparticles and (ii) a strong amplification of the local field in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Quite recently it was shown that the activation and the initiation of chemical reactions or physical processes can be facilitated using LSP excitation. Such exploitation presents two main advantages: an enhanced yield and a fine control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale. These topics have become very active and are in line with molecular plasmonics. This book explores this new field and provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields. | Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology holds great potential for breaking through the bottlenecks in current photonic and optoelectronic networks. Recently a revolution has been witnessed in the field of lithium niobate (LN) photonics. Over the past decade nanoscale LN waveguides with a propagation loss of ~0. 01 dB and a radius of curvature on the level of ~100 μm have been demonstrated. The revolution mainly benefits from two technological advancements the maturity of lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) technology and the innovation of nanofabrication approaches of high-quality LNOI photonic structures. Using low-loss waveguides and high-quality-factor (high-Q) microresonators produced on the LNOI platform as building blocks various integrated photonic devices have been demonstrated with unprecedented performances. The breakthroughs have reshaped the landscape of the LN industry. This is the first monograph on LN nanophotonics enabled by the LNOI platform. It comprehensively reviews the development of fabrication technology investigations on nonlinear optical processes and demonstrations of electro-optical devices as well as applications in quantum light sources spectroscopy sensing and microwave-to-optical wave conversion. The book begins with an overview of the technological evolution of PICs justifying the motivation for developing LNOI photonics. The next four chapters focus on LNOI photonics. The book concludes with a summary of the milestone achievements discussed in these chapters and provides a future perspective of this area of research. | Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry

It is estimated that there are about 10 million organic chemicals known and about 100 000 new organic compounds are produced each year. Some of these new chemicals are made in the laboratory and some are isolated from natural products. The structural determination of these compounds is the job of the chemist. There are several instrumental techniques used to determine the structures of organic compounds. These include NMR UV/visible infrared spectroscopy mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Of all the instrumental techniques listed infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are the two most popular techniques mainly because they tend to be less expensive and give us the most structural information. This book is an introductory text designed to acquaint undergraduate and graduate students with the basic theory and interpretative techniques of mass spectrometry. Much of the material in this text has been used over a period of several years for teaching courses in materials characterization and chemical analysis. It presents the mass spectra of the major classes of organic compounds and correlates the fragmentation pattern of each spectrum with the structural features of the compound it represents. This has been done for hydrocarbons organic acids ketones aldehydes esters anhydrides phenols amines and amides. The text discusses the origin of the fragments techniques innovations and applications in mass spectrometry. It is interspersed with many illustrations examples an adequate but not overwhelming bibliography and problems for students. It will serve as a lecture text for a one-semester course in mass spectrometry or can be used to teach the mass spectra portion of a broader course in material characterization and chemical analysis.
