Another reason why nanotubes have generated intense research activities from scientists of various disciplines is that they represent a new class of materials for the study of one-dimensional physics. In this book we investigate the electrical transport of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes and their potential applications as biological sensors. In the first part of the book, electron-phonon scatterings are studied both experimentally and theoretically, clarifying the nature of electrical transport in nanotubes and setting a performance limit of nanotube devices in diffusive regime. In the second part of this book, we discuss the advantages of nanotubes as a key element in future biosensors. We will show how we can integrate nanotubes with supported lipid bilayers, mimic structures of cell membranes, and use this platform as a way to introduce biomolecules into the vicinity of nanotubes for sensing purpose. Throughout the book, necessary background information and introductions are provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xinjian Zhou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639088913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639088915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Xinjian Zhou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305517826303,"sku":"9783639088915","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9c6face-7311-4655-92cb-a81f5c9d762c.jpg?v=1758831100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carbon-nanotube-transistors-sensors-and-xinjian-zhou-9783639088915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
