The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.
This book outlines the progress that has been made in the science and applications of elemental (e.g., C and Si) and compound (such as ZnO, InP and GaAs) nanotubes, wires and layers. It emphasizes how far initial expectations have come and the work necessary to realize their future promise.
