How does thermodynamics influence nanofabrication processes?
Thermodynamics plays a pivotal role in nanofabrication processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and self-assembly. The thermodynamic principles governing phase transitions, chemical reactions, and diffusion are essential for controlling the size, shape, and composition of nanomaterials. Optimizing these processes requires a thorough understanding of the thermodynamic parameters involved.
