What are the Applications of Phase Change Materials in Nanotechnology?
Phase change materials (PCMs) at the nanoscale are used in various applications: - Data Storage: Phase change memory (PCM) devices utilize the reversible phase transitions of chalcogenide materials for non-volatile data storage. - Thermal Management: Nanostructured PCMs are used in electronics and buildings for efficient thermal energy storage and regulation. - Sensing and Actuation: Nanomaterials that undergo phase changes can be used in sensors and actuators for precise control and detection of environmental changes.
