Basics of Nanotechnology

This extended and revised edition of the successful German version is a clearly structured and easily readable introduction, written by an experienced author with sound knowledge of experimental fabrication and characterization of nanostructures.
Developed from courses on nanophysics and nanotechnology, this textbook is a surface–bound approach to nanostructures, methods of growth and manipulation, characterization methods with a focus on optical analyzing methods and nanooptics, a discussion of nano–architectures and exemplary applications in optics, electronics, quantum computers, molecular nanostructures, biology and soft matter.
With its wide range of problems to test the reader′s understanding, it is primarily aimed at graduate students with a basic knowledge of solid state physics, but can be equally used as a reference for professionals in physics, chemistry and materials science working on nanosystems, soft matter or biophysical matters.
Revised and updated by expanded discussion of:
– quantum and classical effects
– nanotubes and wires as well as magnetic structures
– new template assisted growth methods
– sophisticated photonic applications
– numerous problems on physics of nanostructures, generation, manipulation and characterisation as well as applications
Horst–Günter Rubahn is Professor at the Mads Clausen Institute of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and head of the nanotechnology department with proficient teaching experience in nonlinear optics and spectroscopy, surface science and nanotechnology. His research activities concentrate on the development of new bottom up nanotechnology techniques as well as photonics methods such as nonlinear optical microscopies, evanescent wave spectroscopy, and advanced laser materials treatments. H.–G. Rubahn heads also the nanotechnology center NanoSYD of SDU (www.nanosyd.sdu.dk) and a Ph.D. school on mesosco pic structures and optics. He is founder of a start up company which develops organic nanofibers for the implementation in new nano–photonic devices.
