Emerged during the last two decades, nanoscience stands out for its interdisciplinarity. Barriers between disciplines seem to disappear at the convergence of the very small, where basic principles and tools are universal. Novel properties are inherent to nanosized systems due to a quantum effects and a reduction in dimensionality: nanoscience is likely to revolutionize many areas of human activity, such as materials science, nanoelectronics, information processing, biotechnology and medicine.
This textbook spans over all fields of nanoscience, covering its broad applications. After a sound introduction to the physical and chemical principles of nanoscience, the text then moves onto the wider fields of microscopy, nanoanalysis, synthesis, nanocrystals, nanowires, nanolayers, carbon nanostructures, bulk nanomaterials, nanomechanics, nanophotonics, nanofluidics, nanomagnetism, nanotechnology for computers, nanochemistry, nanobiology, and nanomedicine.
Didactically structured and replete with hundreds of illustrations, this uniquely compiled textbook is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students of all natural sciences.
