While knowledge of the origin of physical properties of many simple solids is comprehensive, this is not the case for low-dimensional solids. This field, however, has seen tremendous development in the last couple of years and the materials have a wide range of applications such as in display devices. Low-Dimensional Solids discusses the importance of low-dimensional solids for theoretical and computational theories. The book covers intercalation in layered materials, boride/carbide/fulleride superconductors, inorganic fullerenes and nanotubes, and oxide nanorods and nanotubes.weiterlesen
