Metallic Chains / Chains of Metals : Volume 1 Hardback
by Michael (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, University of Saarland, Germany.) Springborg, Yi (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, University of Saarland, Germany.) Dong
Part of the Handbook of Metal Physics series
Hardback
Description
The present book describes a large variety of different types of chain systems (nanowires), including shorter chains that are artificially produced for instance in break-junction experiments, chains synthesized as guests inside the channels of a host crystal, crystalline chain compounds, organic polymers (synthetic metals), and charge-transfer salts, thus covering an unusual wealth of systems.
Both experimental and theoretical studies are discussed.
Particular emphasis is put on illustrating the special phenomena that occur in such quasi-one-dimensional systems, and how theoretical and experimental efforts have been used in identifying those properties that are specific for truly one-dimensional systems from those of quasi-one-dimensional systems.
Moreover, it is shown that metallic chains can be found in a large range of systems, but also that chains of metals not always are metallic.
