Chapter 10:

Nanostructures and Solids with


Low-Dimensional Properties

Nanoscience: the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials


at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scales, where properties differ
significantly from those at larger scale.
Nanotechnology: the production and application of structures, devices,
and systems for controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale.

Physical Properties:
Melting Point

macroscale nanoscale
Majority of atoms are: almost all inside the split between the
object inside and the
surface

Changing an objects has minimal effect has a substantial


size: on the % of atoms effect on the % of
on the surface atoms on the surface

The melting point: doesnt depend on is lower for smaller


size particles

Each Volts battery cell contains a


carbon anode (the negative
electrode), a manganese-based
cathode (the positive electrode)
and a safety reinforced separator,
which provides the medium for the
transfer of electrical charge ions
between the anode and the cathode
inside the battery cell.

Armchair nanotubes
are metallic. Zig-zag
and chiral nanotubes
can be either metallic
or semiconducting.

Chemical vapor deposition

Hydrocarbon vapor passed through a tube furnace.


SWNTs or MWNTs depends on size and temperature of catalyst (Fe, Ni
with NH3).
Low-temperature (600-900C) yields MWNTs, higher temperature (900-
1200C) favors SWNTs.
