The Group is focused on detailed studies
of atomic structures, chemistry, physical, chemical and mechanical
properties of nanotubes made of Carbon, Boron Nitride and
a wide variety of inorganic nanotubes using state-of-the-art
microscopy facilities and techniques. Based on fundamental
findings the prototype routes towards practical applications
of ultimate novel nanotubes are developed, such as field-effect
transistors, current rectifiers, gas sensors and accumulators,
nanomagnets, piezosensors, nanocables, field emitters, small-mass
conveyers, electrical switches and temperature sensors. |
