Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this
second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting …

Ion beam irradiation is a potential tool for phase formation and material modification as a
non-equilibrium technique. Localized rise in temperature and ultra fast (∼ 10− 12 s) …

Many significant fundamental concepts and practical applications have developed since the
publication of the best-selling second edition of the Handbook of Conducting Polymers. Now …

A significant challenge faced in the use of nanoscale building blocks is developing parallel
methods for interconnecting and patterning assemblies of the individual components …

We provide a comprehensive account of the optical, electrical and mechanical properties
that emerge from the self-assembly of colloidal nanocrystals or atomically precise …

Patterned arrays of gold nanoparticles in two dimensions were prepared by the electron
beam reduction and subsequent thermolysis of gold (I)− thiolate complexes on silicon …

Electron beam lithography on Langmuir− Blodgett films of alkanethiol-capped gold
nanoparticles is shown to be a viable strategy to define nanometer scale structures of such …

In the past couple of decades, colloidal inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) and, more specifically,
semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as crucial materials for the development …

We report the low temperature current-voltage (IV) characteristics studies in quasi-one-
dimensional conducting polymer nanofibers. We find a threshold voltage V t below which …

The I− V characteristics of single-layer Au nanocluster films are found to depend on the size
of the Au core of the nanoclusters with the threshold voltage rising as the cluster size …
