Transfer Printing Technologies and Applications

Transfer printing (TP) is a class of techniques for the deterministic assembly of disparate micro/nanomaterials into functional devices, and has become an emerging suite of technologies for micro/nanofabrication. Systems enabled by transfer printing range from complex molecular-scale materials, to high-performance hard materials, to fully integrated devices. A variety of sub-techniques for different purposes have grown significantly in the past decade, leading to non-conventional electronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and photonics, and enabling the development of non-planar and flexible electronics.Highlights breakthrough results and systems enabled by novel TP techniques.Highlights breakthrough results and systems enabled by novel TP techniques.Transfer Printing Technologies and Applications is a complete guide to transfer printing techniques and their cutting-edge applications.

Novel Aspects of Diamond

This book is in honor of the contribution of Professor Xin Jiang (Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Siegen, Germany) to diamond. The objective of this book is to familiarize readers with the scientific and engineering aspects of CVD diamond films and to provide experienced researchers, scientists, and engineers in academia and industry with the latest developments and achievements in this rapidly growing field. This 2nd edition consists of 14 chapters, providing an updated, systematic review of diamond research, ranging from its growth, and properties up to applications. The growth of single-crystalline and doped diamond films is included. The physical, chemical, and engineering properties of these films and diamond nanoparticles are discussed from theoretical and experimental aspects. The applications of various diamond films and nanoparticles in the fields of chemistry, biology, medicine, physics, and engineering are presented.
