Opis

Starting from a brush-up of the basic quantum mechanics and materials science, the book helps to gradually build up understanding of the various effects of quantum confinement, optical-electronic properties of nanoparticles and major nanomaterials.

Recenzje

"This is the latest of many books that aim to introduce nanotechnology to scientists just outside the field. The editors, who also authored the majority of the book, provide a nice introductory chapter that sets the stage, defining nano and reviewing the applications of nanotechnology. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers/faculty and professionals/practitioners." (N. M. Fahrenkopf, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)
