چکیده
Engineered microand nanostructures may possess superb properties unattainable in nature. Examples are the photonic crystals for electromagnetic waves and quantum wells for electronic waves. In this article, we focus on engineering thermophysical properties of microand nanostructures. A brief historical perspective is provided on the motivations to engineer the properties of matters, followed by a discussion of some necessary conditions for the engineering of properties. Examples are given on the energy spectrum and thermal conductivity of low-dimensional structures such as superlattices. Future opportunities in thermally engineered structures are also elaborated. 2001 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS thermophysical properties / nanoscale / energy spectrum / wave regime / thermal fluctuation / phonon

متن کاملCalculation of Electronic and Optical Properties of Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanostructure
By means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk TiO2 doped by S, Se or Pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by Zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. Moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 eV) to the lower energy range in the case of TiO2 doped by S or Pb that opens a way to enhancin...
