Nano Science and Technology Novel Structures and Phenomena

Edited By Ping Sheng, Zikang Tang Copyright 2003

    Nanoscience and technology is a rapidly developing area of research in physics, chemistry, and materials. This volume comsists of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute in Hong Kong that explore developments in novel structures in phenomena of nanostructured materials.

    The topics include:

  • two-dimensional nanoclusters on metal surfaces,
  • quantum dynamics of coupled quantum-dot cubits and dephasing effects induced by measurements,
  • coating of metal oxides onto surface of mesoporous silicas, and
  • synthesis of boron nitride nanotube arrays

    Nano Science and Technology: Novel Structures and Phenomena is a useful source of reference for postgraduates, professionals, and researchers in this fast growing field.
