Electromagnetic Response Properties of Nanocarbon Structures

摘要

A great progress has been achieved during last two decade in the synthesis and fabrication of different nano structured artificial materials with fascinating mechanical, electronic and optical properties irreducible to properties of bulk media. Accompanied by the impressive parallel development of the characterization techniques and measurement instrumentation, this process necessitates the revision of traditional concepts of physics and chemistry of condensed matter, adapting them to peculiarities of the nanoworld and significantly extending our knowledge of the nature of solids and our capabilities to control their properties.
