Introduction to Nanoscienceby Stuart Lindsay
OUP Oxford 2009; US$ 29.00Nanoscience is not physics, chemistry, engineering or biology. It is all of them, and it is time for a text that integrates the disciplines. This is such a text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the sciences. The consequences of smallness and quantum behaviour are well known and described Richard Feynman's visionary essay 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom' (which is reproduced in this book). Another, critical, but thus far neglected, aspectof nanoscience is the complexity of nanostructures. Hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of atoms make up systems that are complex enough to show what is fashionably called 'emergent behaviour'. Quite new phenomena arise from rare configurations... more...
Founds Ultraprec Mech Designby Stuart T. Smith
CRC Press 1994; US$ 67.95The nanotechnological revolution will be as pervasive as the first industrial revolution, for it also introduces concepts and techniques that will influence virtually all aspects of technology and manufacture. Nanotechnology is concerned with the design and manufacture of components with submicrometre dimensions, of larger components with submicrometre tolerances or surface finishes, and of machines with submicrometre precision of positioning or motion. The achievement of ultra-high precision in machining and the manufacture of extremely small devices opens up prospects as diverse and futuristic as massive computing power, medical diagnostic and therapeutic devices inside the bloodstream, global personal communications, still smaller and... more...

Molecular Electronicsby J M Tour
World Scientific 2003; US$ 75.40This book presents an in-depth discussion on molecular electronics in an easy-to-understand manner, aiming at chemists, computer scientists, surface scientists, physicists, and applied mathematicians. Lighter overviews are provided for the science-minded layperson and the high tech entrepreneur in this nanoscale science. The author has included a detailed synthetic chemistry treasure chest, protocols of self-assembling routes for bottom-up fabrication atop silicon platforms, representative current-voltage and memory readouts from molecular devices, and overviews of present architectural and mathematical approaches to programming molecular computing machines. more...
Physical Properties Of Carbon Nanotubesby R Saito; G Dresselhaus; M S Dresselhaus
World Scientific 1998; US$ 45.50This is an introductory textbook for graduate students and researchers from various fields of science who wish to learn about carbon nanotubes. The field is still at an early stage, and progress continues at a rapid rate. This book focuses on the basic principles behind the physical properties and gives the background necessary to understand the recent developments. Some useful computational source codes which generate coordinates for carbon nanotubes are also included in the appendix. more...
Frontiers of Multifunctional Integrated Nanosystemsby E. V Buzaneva; Peter Scharff
Springer 2004; US$ 259.00A 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...
Understanding Nanotechnologyby Editors of Scientific American
Warner 2002; US$ 9.99Taken from the Greek, nano means 'one billionth part of' a whole; or very, very small. Nanotechnology is the next step after miniaturization. This book explores the cutting edge of a new technology that will find usage in almost every single aspect of modern society. more...
