Nanostructures and Nanotechnology Douglas Natelson Rice University, Houston
Focusing on unchanging fundamental principles, this carefully developed textbook equips students with a deep understanding of the nanoscale. Packed with end-of-chapter problems and colour illustrations, this is an ideal resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, materials science and electrical engineering. • Emphasises the underlying principles of nanotechnology, providing long-term understanding that will not date rapidly • Covers a broad range of topics, all within a consistent, highly pedagogical single-author volume • Provides an extensive technical foundation for critical and quantitative thinking about nanoscience and nanotechnology
