Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The volume contains some of the most recent knowledge on Functional Nanomaterials and Devices. The papers are grouped into: 1. semiconductor-on-insulator structures, devices and sensors; 2. physics of new functional nanodevices and sensors; 3. diagnostics methods of nanomaterials and devices; 4. functional nanomaterials in medicine. The first part considers transport phenomena in thin silicon layer near back SiO2-Si interface of the SOI structures fabricated with DELICATE technology, mobility increase in high doped nanowire junctionless multigate MOSFETs; photoconductance and LF noises in the Ge nanodots on SiO2 structures; operation of the SOI sensors in ordinary and 3D fabrication. The second part includes the papers regarding to new functional nanomaterials and devices being used as solar cells, photovoltaic devices, cold emitters for lighting and others. The third part considers different methods of electrical, magnetic, positron annihilation diagnostic of nanostructured materials and nanoscaled devices, and the fourth part is related to employing of nanostructures and nanocluster materials in medicine.
