Nanotechnologies 2

More about the book

The two-volume work offers a comprehensive overview of the main techniques, principles, and structures involved in nanomaterials. Volume 2 specifically addresses the mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of nanostructures, alongside topics like nanomagnetism, spintronics, and spin dynamics. It illustrates a wide range of applications that demonstrate how physical properties can be manipulated for specific functions. The author employs a microscopic approach to elucidate the fundamental properties and operations of low-dimensional systems, providing an in-depth introduction to production and analysis techniques at the nanoscopic level. The volumes highlight how size limitations can lead to new physical properties and quantum effects, paving the way for innovative applications and devices. Key features include a thorough treatment of nanoscience, covering essential areas such as sample preparation, characterization methods, physical principles, and applications. Each chapter begins and concludes with summaries that encapsulate the main ideas, while revision problems at the end allow students to assess their understanding. The author's extensive 25 years of research experience enriches the content. Volume 1 introduces nanophysics and nanotechnologies, emphasizing the significance of low-dimensional and surface physics.
