Download or read book Nanometer Scale Science and Technology written by Maria Allegrini and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanosciences and nanotechnology are at the interface between physics, chemistry, engineering and biology. The fundamental processes of living matter occur on the nanometre scale. This book is based on local probes (STM, AFM, SNOM) and related supreme technological acheivements. Topics are covered extensively, covering issues such as: clusters, nanocontacts, photonic bad gap materials, atom manipulation by light, atom optics with Bose-Einstein condensates, and quantum computing.
