Presenting leading-edge research in this dynamic field, this volume is an introduction to the physical concepts needed for investigating carbon nanotubes and other one

Recenzje

"This is a book on simulation and modeling applied to problems connected to carbon nanotubes. The selected mathematical notation is very clear to engineers and physicists. Additionally, the authors give a list of mathematical symbols, and the 37 illustrations in the book are quite instructive. At the end of the book, there is a list of 192 references connected to nearly all aspects of the topic. ... This book is recommended to everyone who wants an introduction to modeling and simulation."
—Dieter Vollath, CEO, NanoConsulting, Stutensee, Germany, from MRS Bulletin, Volume 40, August 2015
