Dear
valued subscriber,
This year, World Scientific celebrates 30 years
of growth since our humble beginnings in a small office with only five
employees. Over the last three decades, we have established ourselves
as one of the leading scientific publishers in the world, and the
largest international scientific publisher in the Asia-Pacific region.
All the fruits of our labor would not have been possible without your
unceasing support throughout these years.
To commemorate this occasion, we are having a special promotion of 30% discount on selected
titles across all our subject areas.
We hope that you have a great time reading our quality titles, and for
some of you, for publishing with us. We look forward to serving you in
the days ahead.

![]() Theory of
Semiconductor Quantum Dots
Band Structure, Optical Properties and Applications
edited
by Aleksey Andreev (Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, UK)
Semiconductor structures containing zero-dimensional objects — quantum
dots — are the subject of intensive research worldwide. This monograph
describes a detailed theory of the electronic band structure and
optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots.
The author provides a comprehensive description of an original approach
based on a combination of the Fourier transform, the Green's function
and plane-wave expansion techniques in the framework of multiband 8x8
kp theory. The calculated band structure, optical properties and device
applications are analyzed in line with available experiments for a
large number of realistic quantum dot structures and various
combinations of materials, such as InGaN, GaN/AlN, ZnSe, InGaAs
(including dots-in-the-well), ZnSe/CdSe, and lead salts.

Series on Chemical Engineering - Vol. 4
Nanoporous
Materials: Science And Engineering ![]()
edited by G Q Lu (University of Queensland,
Australia) & X S Zhao (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
Porous materials are of scientific and technological importance because
of the presence of voids of controllable dimensions at the atomic,
molecular, and nanometer scales, enabling them to discriminate and
interact with molecules and clusters. Interestingly the big deal about
this class of materials is about the "nothingness" within — the pore
space. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
classifies porous materials into three categories — micropores of less
than 2 nm in diameter, mesopores between 2 and 50 nm, and macropores of
greater than 50 nm. In this book, nanoporous materials are defined as
those porous materials with pore diameters less than 100 nm.
![]() Silicon Carbide
Microelectromechanical Systems For Harsh Environments
edited by Rebecca Cheung (University of Edinburgh,
UK)
This unique book describes the science and technology of silicon
carbide (SiC) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), from the creation
of SiC material to the formation of final system, through various
expert contributions by several leading key figures in the field. The
book contains high-quality up-to-date scientific information concerning
SiC MEMS for harsh environments summarized concisely for students,
academics, engineers and researchers in the field of SiC MEMS.

A
new scientific journal: Nano LIFE has been recently established
(http://www.worldscinet.com/nl/nl.shtml) and published by World
Scientific. Nano LIFE is a quarterly international journal publishing
peer-reviewed research in all fields of nano and biomedical sciences.
The emphasis of this journal is based on its originality, importance,
and interdisciplinary nature between nano and life sciences. Nano LIFE
also provides current news and interpretations of critical issues in
nanomedicine that caters to scientific communities and the general
public.

Albert
Einstein Memorial Lectures ![]()
edited by Raphael Mechoulam (Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel) & Jacob Bekenstein (Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel)
This volume consists of a selection of the Albert Einstein Memorial
Lectures presented annually at the Israel Academy of Sciences and
Humanities. Delivered by eminent scientists and scholars, including
Nobel laureates, they cover a broad spectrum of subjects in physics,
chemistry, life science, mathematics, historiography and social issues.
This distinguished memorial lecture series was inaugurated by the
Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities following an international
symposium held in Jerusalem in March 1979 to commemorate the centenary
of Albert Einstein's birth. Considering that Einstein's interests,
activities and influence were not restricted to theoretical physics but
spanned broad fields affecting society and the welfare of humankind, it
was felt that these memorial lectures should be addressed to
scientists, scholars and erudite laypersons rather than to physicists
alone.
