      Low-Dimensional Materials, Systems and Applications, Volume 1: Principles, Methods, and Approaches in Electronics and Photonics showcases the complexities and uniqueness of low-dimensional materials and highlights the most recent discoveries in the fields of electronics and photonics. Low-dimensional nanoscale materials are challenging as they exhibit properties distinctly different from their bulk counterparts. There is an exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level due to high surface-to-volume ratios in these materials, and not only are their electronic, optical, and chemical properties different, so too are their mechanical characteristics. This book highlights the state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental descriptions of the complexities, unique properties, and latest applications of low-dimensional materials with a particular focus on the fields of electronics and photonics.The book is primarily for researchers working on the simulation, fabrication, analysis, and uses of low-dimensional nanoscale materials, including materials scientists, electrical engineers, condensed matter physicists, and chemists.

      S960 Ultra-High Strength Steel Welded I-Section Structural Members focuses on the structural behaviour and design of S960 ultra-high strength welded I-section components under different loading cases, with detailed introduction on experimental and numerical programme presented. The actual use of S960 ultra-high strength welded I-section components is restricted, to some extent, by the lack of appropriate design rules, since the current international design standards can only be applicable to steel components with material grades lower than S700 (or S690). Therefore, the applicability of the current design rules for high strength steel structures to ultra-high strength steel counterparts is evaluated and the relating efficient design approaches are proposed in this book, putting the basis for the development of current design codes.
