INTRODUCTION TO NANOTECHNOLOGY
by Massimo F Bertino (Virginia Commonwealth University, USA) This textbook is conceived for a one-semester course at the upper undergraduate or freshman graduate level. The book was written With the fact that nanotechnology is a vast field where the applications range from paint to nanomedicine, through plasmonics and catalysis. An introductory course must be a compromise between a quantitative and a qualitative treatment. For that, this textbook is more quantitative than others in the market, which often do not treat the key concepts with enough depth. This textbook focuses on the key physical and chemical principles and uses many formulas and equations within with the one-semester time constraint. Readership: Academia; graduate students and advanced undergraduates in nanotechnology; photovoltaics; microfabrication as well as physics and materials science students with interest in nanotechnology.

Series on the Foundations of Natural Science and Technology
TOPICS IN NANOSCIENCE
(In 2 Volumes)
Volume 1: Basic Views, Time-Operator, Quantum Transport Volume 2: Nanoscale Materials, Ground-State Properties, Thermoelecticty
edited by Wolfram Schommers (Universty of Texas at Arlington, USA & Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Germany) Nanosystems are usually small, but they offer nevertheless the possibility to vary the structure of atomic (molecular) ensembles, creating a diversity of new material-specific properties. A large variety of experimental possibilities come into play and flexible theoretical tools are needed at the basic level. This is reflected in the different disciplines: In nanoscience and nanotechnology we have various directions: Materials science, functional nanomaterials, nanoparticles, food chemistry, medicine with brain research, quantum and molecular computing, bioinformatics, magnetic nanostructures, nano-optics, nano-electronics, etc. The properties of matter, which are involved within these nanodisciplines, are ultimate in character, i.e., their characteristic properties come into existence at this level. The book is organized in this respect.

by Nianrong Sun (Fudan University, China) & Chunhui Deng (Fudan University, China) This book focuses on the application of magnetic nanomaterials in the forefront of proteomics research, and describes in details the synthetic methods, properties, principles and performance of magnetic nanomaterials in various branches of proteomics, which includes digestion studies, enrichment of low abundance peptides, as well as the analysis of phosphoprotein and glycoprotein. Past 10 years’ research on magnetic materials in proteomics is integrated, and then the application of magnetic nanomaterials in proteomics analysis are stated systematically. Readership: Persons interested in proteomics analysis, persons with interest in nanomaterials. World Scientific Series in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology - Vol 21
Probing the Structure and Dynamics with Synchrotron X-Rays and Neutrons
edited by Sunil K Sinha (University of California San Diego, USA), Milan K Sanyal (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, India) & Chun K Loong (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) This book is a collection of chapters which review the characterization of the structure and internal dynamics of a wide variety of nanostructured materials using various synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering techniques. It is intended for graduate students and researchers who might be interested in learning about and applying these methods. The authors are well-known practitioners in their fields of research who provide detailed and authoritative accounts of how these techniques have been applied to study systems ranging from thin films and monolayers on solid surfaces and at liquid-air, liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces; nanostructured composite materials; battery materials, and catalytic materials. Readership: Scientists, researchers and advanced graduate students in the fields of Materials Sciences, Nanotechnology, Chemistry, Physics.
