![]() Nanomagnetism
and Spintronics
Fabrication, Materials,
Characterization and Applications
edited by Farzad
Nasirpouri (Sahand University of
Technology, Iran) & Alain
Nogaret (University of Bath, UK)
Spintronics manipulates
individual magnetic moments to
integrate logic functions and
non-volatile information storage on
the same platform. As is often the
case in condensed matter science,
advances are made through the
synthesis of novel materials and high
quality new physics materials. Giant
magnetoresistance and dilute magnetic
semiconductors are two such examples.
However, the remarkable potential of
spintronics for quantum computation
faces major challenges when it comes
to controlling simultaneously several
qbits encoded in magnetic moments.
![]() An Introduction To
Interfaces and Colloids
The Bridge to Nanoscience
by John C Berg (University of
Washington, USA)
The textbook seeks to bring
readers with no prior knowledge or
experience in interfacial phenomena,
colloid science or nanoscience to the
point where they can comfortably enter
the current scientific and technical
literature in the area.
Designed as a pedagogical
tool, this book recognizes the
cross-disciplinary nature of the
subject. To facilitate learning, the
topics are developed from the
beginning with ample
cross-referencing. The understanding
of concepts is enhanced by clear
descriptions of experiments and
provisions of figures and
illustrations.
![]() Nanoscale
Interface For Organic Electronics
edited by Mitsumasa Iwamoto (Tokyo
Institute of Technology, Japan),
Young-Soo Kwon (Dong-A University,
Korea), & Takhee Lee (Gwangju
Institute of Science and Technology,
Korea)
The scope of this book will
be focused on the interface issues and
problems in organic materials as
electronic device applications. The
organic material electronics is a
rapidly progressing field for
potential applications in flexible
field effect transistors, plastic
solar cells, organic luminescent
devices, etc.
![]() Perspectives of
Mesoscopic Physics
Dedicated to Yoseph Imry's 70th Birthday
edited by Amnon Aharony (Ben Gurion
University, Israel) & Ora
Entin-Wohlman (Ben Gurion University,
Israel)
Professor Yoseph (Joe)
Imry, an early initiator of mesoscopic
physics, has been among the leaders in
this field for several decades. This
book contains articles by leading
(theoretical and experimental)
scientists working in nanoscience and
in related fields. Most of the
contributions, consisting both reviews
of the state of the art and new
results, summarize invited talks given
at two conferences held in honor of
Imry's 70th birthday: the 101st
Statistical Mechanics Conference
(Rutgers University, May 10-12, 2009),
and Perspectives of Mesoscopic Physics
(Weizmann Institute of Science, May
31-June 1, 2009).

![]() Molecular
Electronics
An Introduction to Theory and Experiment
by Juan Carlos Cuevas (Universidad
Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) & Elke
Scheer (Universität Konstanz, Germany)
This book provides a
comprehensive overview of the rapidly
developing field of molecular
electronics. It focuses on our present
understanding of the electrical
conduction in single-molecule circuits
and provides a thorough introduction
to the experimental techniques and
theoretical concepts. It will also
constitute as the first textbook-like
introduction to both the experiment
and theory of electronic transport
through single atoms and molecules. In
this sense, this publication will
prove invaluable to both researchers
and students interested in the field
of nanoelectronics and nanoscience in
general.

Nano-Engineering
In Science and Technology ![]()
An Introduction to the World of
Nano-Design
by Michael Rieth (AIFT, Karlsruhe,
Germany)
This important book
provides a vivid introduction to the
procedures, techniques, problems and
difficulties of computational
nano-engineering and design. The
reader is given step by step the
scientific background information, for
an easy reconstruction of the
explanations. The focus is laid on the
molecular dynamics method, which is
well suited for explaining the topic
to the reader with just a basic
knowledge of physics. Results and
conclusions of detailed
nano-engineering studies are presented
in an instructive style. In summary,
the book puts readers immediately in a
position to take their first steps in
the field of computational
nano-engineering and design.
![]() Nanostructures and
Nanomaterials
Synthesis, Properties and Applications
by Guozhong Cao (University of
Washington, USA)
"This
book does an excellent job of
assembling a wide variety of
synthetic techniques and
describing how they can be applied
to a range of materials for design
on the nanoscale. The references
range from the classic to the very
recent, giving a broad perspective
of the area, and an index provides
cross-referencing."
-- Journal of the American Chemical
Society
![]() The Classical and
Quantum Dynamics of The
Multispherical Nanostructures
by Gennadiy N Burlak (Autonomous
State University of Morelos, Mexico)
In this book, the issues
regarding the theory of optics and
quantum optics of spherical
multilayered systems are studied. In
such systems the spatial scale of
layers becomes comparable with the
wavelength of radiation, which
complicates the analysis of important
quantities such as reflectivity and
transmission. Often, a large amount of
time is spent on performing numerical
calculations and simulation to
elucidate the behavior of such
electromagnetic properties. The author
has written down the calculation
details of important properties of
multilayered microspheres in a more
comprehensive manner, so that
undergraduates and practitioners can
follow them freely.

developments in nanoporous materials.
It covers the following topics: (1)
synthesis, processing,
characterization and property
evaluation; (2) functionalization by
physical and/or chemical treatments;
(3) experimental and computational
studies on fundamental properties,
such as catalytic effects, transport
and adsorption, molecular sieving and
biosorption; (4) applications,
including photonic devices, catalysis,
environmental pollution control,
biological molecules separation and
isolation, sensors, membranes,
hydrogen and energy storage, etc.
![]() Principles of
Nanotechnology
Molecular-Based Study of Condensed
Matter in Small Systems
by G Ali Mansoori (University of
Illinois at Chicago, USA)
"
This book provides an excellent
introduction to the theories and
experimental methods of molecular
based study of condensed matter in
small systems which are the
principles of nanotechnology. For
new comers to the field it is a
marvelous and thorough educational
tool. For those already familiar
with some of the concepts, it
makes more concrete their
knowledge for possible earlier
stages entering into research and
development in nanoscience and
nanotechnology."
-- Professor Hiromoto Usui, Dean,
Faculty of Engineering, University
of Kobe
![]() Nanotechnology For
The Regeneration of Hard and Soft
Tissues
edited by Thomas J Webster (Brown
University, USA)
Nanotechnology is an
emerging and exciting area in the
field of implants. Numerous promising
developments have been elucidated
regarding the use of nanotechnology to
regenerate tissues. This important
book highlights the potential of
nanophase materials to improve hard
and soft tissue applications. In all
cases, increased tissue regeneration
has been observed for bone, cartilage,
vascular, bladder, and
central/peripheral nervous system
tissues.
![]() Smart Mems and
Sensor Systems
by Elena Gaura (Coventry University,
UK) & Robert Newman (Coventry
University, UK)
The combination of MEMS and
integrated intelligence has been put
forward as a disruptive technology.
The full potential of this technology
is only evident when it is used to
construct very large pervasive sensing
systems. The book explores the many
different technologies needed to build
such systems and integrates knowledge
from three different domains: MEMS
technology, sensor system electronics
and pervasive computing science.
