This text provides a systematic description of the entire subject of particle field holography. Holography is used to study very small objects in a dynamic volume, providing information about the size, shape and velocity of such objects as dust, raindrops, fuel droplets and pollen. Professor Vikram aims to provide a coherent, comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the theory, practice and applications. All the necessary mathematical formulations, figures and photographs, experimental procedures and results, and literature citations are included.

Showing advancements in colloidal nanocrystals and quantum-confined nanostructures, this title focuses on the semiconductor nanocrystals known as nanocrystal quantum dots. This title includes chapters on carrier multiplication, doping of semiconductor nanocrystals, and applications of nanocrystals in biology.
