  • Nanostructured Silicon-based Powders and Compositesby Andre Pierre Legrand; Christine Senemaud

    CRC Press 2002; US$ 109.95

    Nanomaterials are materials with a characteristic length scale (particle diameter, grain size) or less than 100 nanometers. The use of nanoparticles aims to take advantage of their better or even different properties as compared to bulk behaviour (confinement effect, larger surface area to volume ratio). At first nanomaterials were used as catalysts and pigments, but now their mechanical, optical, electric and biological properties of silicon based nanostructures at all stages of the process, from the synthesis of nanopowders to the final material. more...

  • Frontiers of Multifunctional Integrated Nanosystemsby E. V Buzaneva; Peter Scharff

    Springer 2004; US$ 259.00

    A compendium of novel information on molecular-scale science and the application of nanocarbon, nanosilicon and biopolymer integrated nanosystems. During the 20th century, molecular-scale science and nanotechnology developed rapidly, leading to the construction of innovative materials - nanosystens from molecules (fullerenes), supramolecules (nanotubes, peapods, polymers, biopolymers (DNA, protein and their complexes) and semiconductor nanoparticles (nano-Si, SiOx, Si/SiGe dots, metal nanowires). This book presents exciting new developments of the early 21st century. Significant progress has been made in nanotechnology of building blocks for integrated nanosystems, single and assembled molecules, nanoparticles characterisation, and multifunctional... more...

  • Phonons in Nanostructuresby Michael A. Stroscio; Mitra Dutta

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 51.00

    This book focuses on the theory of phonon interactions in nanostructures with particular emphasis on modern heterostructure devices. Tractable models of confined phonons and their application to calculating properties and phenomena of semiconductor heterostructures are described. The book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and undergraduates in physics and engineering. more...

  • Nanostructures And Nanomaterialsby Guozhong Cao

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 127.40

    This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials, particularly inorganic nanomaterials. It provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and processing techniques with regard to synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials. Both chemical processing and lithographic techniques are presented in a systematic and coherent manner for the synthesis and fabrication of 0-D, 1-D, and 2-D nanostructures, as well as special nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous oxides. The book will serve as a general introduction to nanomaterials and... more...

  • First-principles Calculations In Real-space Formalismby Kikuji Hirose; Tomoya Ono; Yoshitaka Fujimoto; Shigeru Tsukamoto

    World Scientific 2005; US$ 88.40

    With cutting-edge materials and minute electronic devices being produced by the latest nanoscale fabrication technology, it is essential for scientists and engineers to rely on first-principles (ab initio) calculation methods to fully understand the electronic configurations and transport properties of nanostructures. It is now imperative to introduce practical and tractable calculation methods that accurately describe the physics in nanostructures suspended between electrodes. This timely volume addresses novel methods for calculating electronic transport properties using real-space formalisms free from geometrical restrictions. The book comprises two parts: The first details the basic formalism of the real-space finite-difference method... more...

  • The Classical And Quantum Dynamics Of The Multispherical Nanostructuresby Gennadiy N Burlak

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 114.40

    In this book, the issues regarding the theory of optics and quantum optics of spherical multilayered systems are studied. In such systems the spatial scale of layers becomes comparable with the wavelength of radiation, which complicates the analysis of important quantities such as reflectivity and transmission. more...

  • Nanoparticle Assemblies and Superstructuresby Nicholas Kotov

    CRC Press 2005; US$ 199.95

    The nanoworld menagerie now displays rings, cubes, tetrapods, triangular prisms, acorns, centipedes, shells, whiskers, and other exotic constructions. The rationale of the studies here is that the time has come to shift focus from making the wee shapes to organizing them into structures of one, two, or three dimensions that might actually be of som more...

  • Nanophysicsby Hélène Bouchiat; Yuval Gefen; Sophie Guéron; Gilles Montambaux; Jean Dalibard

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 86.95

    The developments of nanofabrication in the past years have enabled the design of electronic systems that exhibit spectacular signatures of quantum coherence. Nanofabricated quantum wires and dots containing a small number of electrons are ideal experimental playgrounds for probing electron-electron interactions and their interplay with disorder. Going down to even smaller scales, molecules such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes or hydrogen molecules can now be inserted in nanocircuits. Measurements of transport through a single chain of atoms have been performed as well. Much progress has also been made in the design and fabrication of superconducting and hybrid nanostructures, be they normal/superconductor or ferromagnetic/superconductor.... more...

  • Nano Biophotonicsby Hiroshi Masuhara; Satoshi Kawata; Fumio Tokunaga

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 215.00

    This third volume in the series represents the Proceedings of the 3rd International Nanophotonics Symposium, July 6-8, 2006, Icho-Kaikan, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan. Over a two-day symposium, distinguished scientists from around the world convened to discuss the latest progress in this field and the conclusions have been summarised in Nano Biophotonics: Science and Technology . The contents of this book have been compiled by invited lecturers, research members of the relevant projects/program, and some of general participants. The book has 27 chapters which are classified into 4 parts; nano bio-spectroscopy, nano bio-dynamics, nano bio-processing, and nano bio-devices. * Bridges the gap between conventional photophysics & photochemistry... more...
