What are the Main Sources of Energy Consumption in Nanotechnology?
The primary sources of energy consumption in nanotechnology include: - Synthesis and Fabrication: Techniques like chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and laser ablation consume substantial energy. - Characterization Tools: Instruments such as scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes require high power to operate. - Environmental Control: Maintaining cleanroom conditions, including temperature, humidity, and particle filtration, adds to energy consumption.
