Nanocantilever Beams

Modeling, Fabrication, and Applications

Herausgeber: Voiculescu, Ioana; Zaghloul, Mona

Beschreibung

This book is focused on the fabrication and applications of cantilever beams with nanoscale dimensions. The nanometer-size mechanical structures show exceptional properties generated by their reduced dimensions. These properties enable new sensing concepts and transduction mechanisms that will allow enhancing the performances of the actual devices to their fundamental limits. The book is important because no other books with similar topics focus only on nanocantilever beams. The aim of the book is to provide an excellent reference for an audience with a diversity of backgrounds and interests, including students, academic researchers, industry specialists, policymakers, and enthusiasts.
