Nanoscale materials are showing great promise in various optoelectronics applications, especially the fast-developing fields of optical communication and optical computers. With silicon as the leading material for microelectronics, the integration of optical functions into silicon technology is a very important challenge. This book concentrates on the optoelectronic properties of silicon nanocrystals, associated phenomena and related topics, from basic principles to the most recent discoveries. The areas of focus include silicon-based light-emitting devices, light modulators, optical...

Coordination represents one of the most striking, most taken for granted, but least understood features of living things. Recently a new foundation for understanding coordination has emerged called Coordination Dynamics. This book brings together scientists from all over the world who have defined and developed the field of Coordination Dynamics. Grounded in the concepts of self-organization and the tools of nonlinear dynamics, appropriately extended to handle informational aspects of living things, Coordination Dynamics aims to understand the coordinated functioning of a...

Peter Winkler, der bekannte Mathematiker und Ratselexperte, veroffentlicht in diesem Buch seine Ratselsammlung, die er in Jahrzehnten zusammengestellt hat. Jetzt konnen Sie sich an mehr als 100 der besten (und teilweise der schwierigsten) mathematischen Ratsel erfreuen, die je in einem Band erschienen sind.

Sie sollten Liebe fur mathematisches Denken und Hartnackigkeit mitbringen. Sie benotigen aber keine akademischen mathematischen Kenntnisse; ein aufgeschlossener Abiturient besitzt alles an Vorwissen, was man braucht.
