Unconventional Approaches to Nanostructures with Applications in Electronics, Photonics, Information Storage and Sensing：VOLUME776

This collection of 42 papers presented at the April 2002 symposium examines the fundamental chemistry and physics of nanostructures, their interactions with light and electricity, and their application in novel devices and technologies. Invited papers discuss the growth and optical properties of gallium nanowires, mirrorless lasing in liquid crystalline photonic bandgap materials, a solventless polymerization process, and the large scale production of carbon nanotube transistors. Other topics include atomically ordered quantum dots grown by epitaxy and endotaxy, the effects of doping on the growth of ZnO nanostructures, tunnel magnetoresistance oscillation due to Coulomb blockade, and a novel glucose biosensor based on the microcantilever.
