Cluster Beam Deposition of Functional Nanomaterials and Devices

Cluster Beam Deposition (CBD) is a rapidly emerging gas phase synthesis and deposition tool that allows the realization of functional materials and devices by assembling nanoparticles as basic structural units. Production and manipulation in the gas phase allows the control of cluster size, shape, chemical composition, and deposition parameters thus providing the possibility of fabricating devices with optimized performance and nanostructured materials with tailored structural and functional properties. Cluster Beam Deposition of Functional Nanomaterials and Devices provides up-to-date information on CBD of novel nanomaterials and devices. It offers an overview of gas phase synthesis of a range of nanoparticles and the development of several devices and applications. Applications include, but are not limited to catalysis, smart nanocomposites, nanoprobes, electronic devices, gas sensors and biosensors. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about this sustainable, innovative manufacturing technology.
