Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Semiconductor
  • Electrical engineering
  • Optics

William I. Milne mainly focuses on Carbon nanotube, Nanotechnology, Optoelectronics, Analytical chemistry and Amorphous carbon. His studies deal with areas such as Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and Field electron emission as well as Carbon nanotube. William I. Milne interconnects Cathode, Chemical engineering and Silicon in the investigation of issues within Nanotechnology.

His Optoelectronics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Field-effect transistor, Thin film and Thin-film transistor. His Analytical chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Amorphous solid, Carbon film, Electron energy loss spectroscopy, Vacuum arc and Elastic recoil detection. In his work, Ultraviolet is strongly intertwined with Raman spectroscopy, which is a subfield of Amorphous carbon.

His most cited work include:

  • Superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Forests (1325 citations)
  • Growth process conditions of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (920 citations)
  • Properties of filtered-ion-beam-deposited diamondlike carbon as a function of ion energy (730 citations)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William I. Milne mostly deals with Optoelectronics, Nanotechnology, Carbon nanotube, Field electron emission and Analytical chemistry. He combines subjects such as Thin film, Substrate, Anode and Thin-film transistor with his study of Optoelectronics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Nanotechnology, Polymer are connected with Flexible electronics and other disciplines.

As part of the same scientific family, William I. Milne usually focuses on Carbon nanotube, concentrating on Atomic physics and intersecting with Rotational spectroscopy. He has included themes like Nanotube, Work function, Common emitter, Cold cathode and Cathode ray in his Field electron emission study. Deposition is closely connected to Sputter deposition in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Analytical chemistry.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Flexible Electronics: The Next Ubiquitous Platform (578 citations)
  • A Critical Review of Glucose Biosensors Based on Carbon Nanomaterials: Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene (325 citations)
  • Advances in piezoelectric thin films for acoustic biosensors, acoustofluidics and lab-on-chip applications (204 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Semiconductor
  • Electrical engineering
  • Optics

Nanotechnology, Optoelectronics, Field electron emission, Carbon nanotube and Thin film are his primary areas of study. His Nanotechnology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Engineering physics and Polymer. His Optoelectronics research includes themes of Transverse plane, Thin-film transistor and Analytical chemistry.

His work on Absorption spectroscopy as part of general Analytical chemistry research is frequently linked to Temperature and pressure, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. William I. Milne works mostly in the field of Field electron emission, limiting it down to concerns involving Common emitter and, occasionally, Condensed matter physics, Work function, Lithography, Cold cathode and Anode. The concepts of his Carbon nanotube study are interwoven with issues in Nanolithography, Chemical vapor deposition and Nanomaterials.
