Carbon Superstructures: From Quantum Transport to Quantum Computation [Hardcover]

This book covers how the understanding, as well as controllability of the quantum electronic properties of carbon structures, can be improved via structural geometry, vibrational properties, and dynamics of resonating valence bonds. It elaborates varied properties like growth mechanism, exotic properties, and new applications.

This book covers how the understanding, as well as controllability, of the quantum electronic properties of carbon structures can be improved through a combined study of structural geometry, electronic properties, and dynamics of resonating valence bonds. It elaborates varied properties such as growth mechanism, exotic transport properties, namely unusual geometry of microstructures mixed with electron distribution and spin properties in carbon. Transport mechanisms and new applications including hybrid quantum technology based on the superconducting diamond and dil3J
