Nanomembranes (Hardcover)

This book reviews recent advances in the nanomembrane field. It focuses on the fabrications, properties, and applications of nanomembranes and assembled structures made from semiconductor, metal, insulator, polymer, and composite materials.

Yongfeng Mei received his BS and MS in physics from Nanjing University and PhD in materials physics from City University of Hong Kong. He is a professor in materials physics and chemistry and associated department head in the Department of Materials Science at Fudan University (China). Before that, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (Germany) and then led a research group in the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (Germany) as a staff scientist. His research interest focuses on the materials development in micro/nanorobotics, flexible electronics/optoelectronics and nanophotonics. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed journal papers. He also serves Editorial Advisory Board of e.g. Applied Physics Letters, Chemistry of Materials, Progress in Natural Science: Materials International and Nanotechnology. Gaoshan Huang received his PhD in condensed matter physics at Nanjing University, China, in 2007. After graduation, he worked in IFW Dresden, Germany, as a guest scientist. Then he moved to IMRE, Singapore, as a research engineer. In 2010, he joined the Department of Materials Science, Fudan University, China, as an associate professor. He was then promoted as full professor in 2017. He has authored/co-authored more than 150 journal papers and 3 book chapters. His current research interest is the fabrication and characterization of low-dimensional structures. Xiuling Li received her B.S. degree form Peking University and Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. Following post-doctoral positions at California Institute of Technology and University of Illinois, as well as industry experience at II-VI, Inc. (formerly EpiWorks, Inc.), she joined the faculty of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2007. At UIUC, she was the Donald Biggar Willett Professor in Engineering and the interim director of the Nick Holonyak Jr. Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory. She joined the faculty of UT in Aug. 2021. She holds the Temple Foundation Endowed Professorship No. 3 Professor in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She also has an affiliate appointment in Chemistry as the Fellow of the Dow Professorship. Her research focuses on nanostructured semiconductor materials and devices. She has published >160 journal papers and holds >20+ patents, delivered > 120 invited lectures worldwide. She served as an elected member of the board of governors and VP of Finance and Administration of IEEE Photonics Society and is currently on the fellow evaluation committee of IEEE Electron Device Society, and IEEE Andrew Grove award committee. She is also a Deputy Editor of Applied Physics Letters.
