Neuroscience & Technology
Nanotechnology Understanding Small Systems, Second Edition Ben Rogers Reno, Nevada, USA
Sumita Pennathur University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
Jesse Adams Nevada Nano, Inc., Reno, USA Series: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Praise for the First Edition: “… It is written in an easily understandable manner, not requiring from the reader deep knowledge in the related topics of physics and mathematics before reading this book. It uncovers the most important things about nanotechnology explained in a very illustrative manner with many simple examples, figures, and ‘back-of-the-envelope’ calculations, so that the reader can get a good feeling for the numbers of nanotechnology.” —Zentralblatt MATH
What Authors Are Saying About This Edition: "… This updated work (1st ed., 2008) takes the revolutionary concepts and techniques that have traditionally been fodder for graduate study and makes them accessible for all. Covering subjects ranging from materials science to mechanics and biotechnology to photonics, Rogers and Adams (both, Nevada Nano) and Pennathur (Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) deftly introduce the reader to each topic and quickly explain why it is important on the nanoscale. An exciting feature is the "back of the envelope" examples, where the reader is walked through "quick and dirty" calculations to illustrate and understand (mathematically) the complex concepts discussed. The end of each chapter includes traditional problem sets and short answer questions to test understanding. While not a comprehensive text in any specific area of nanoscale science or engineering, this outstanding introduction to the broad field of nanotechnology provides a solid foundation for further study. “Summing Up: Highly recommended." —N. M Fahrenkopf, University at Albany, in CHOICE

Introduction to Nanoscience
WINNER—2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE
Gabor L. Hornyak, Joydeep Dutta, H.F. Tibbals, and Anil Rao
Fundamentals of Nanotechnology
Tomorrow’s nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. For this to happen, the field needs a truly focused and dedicated textbook. This color masterwork is the textbook to do the job. It introduces the nanoscale along with the societal impacts of nanoscience, then presents an overview of characterization and fabrication methods. The authors systematically discuss the chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience, providing a complete picture of the challenges, opportunities, and inspirations posed by each facet before giving a brief glimpse at nanoscience in action—or nanotechnology.
Gabor L. Hornyak, John J. Moore, H.F. Tibbals, and Joydeep Dutta

Quantum Principles and Particles Walter Wilcox Baylor University, Waco, Texas, USA
A Novel Pedagogical Approach to Quantum Mechanics "A physical understanding is a completely unmathematical, imprecise, and inexact thing, but absolutely necessary for a physicist." —R. Feynman
The core of modern physics, quantum theory is counter-intuitive and challenging for those new to the field. Quantum Principles and Particles presents the fundamentals in a particularly visual manner and applies them to aspects of particle interactions. Inspired by the author’s work with Nobel laureate Julian Schwinger, the book introduces the primary principles of the microscopic world through an analysis of the simplest possible quantum mechanical system—spin 1/2.
A Visual Approach to Quantum Mechanics This two-semester introductory undergraduate textbook balances simplification and rigor to provide an accessible, solid foundation in quantum mechanics. Taking a unique pedagogical approach, the author uses hypothetical quantum devices—process diagrams—to orient and guide the reader. These process diagrams help readers visualize states and operators, and illustrate ways to compute amplitudes for quantum mechanical processes.
From Small Steps in Quantum Mechanics to a Leap into Particle Physics The first part of the book presents the essential principles in the development of quantum mechanics, starting with spin state analysis and wave mechanics. Delving into quantum particles, the second part develops a consistent picture of particle descriptions and interactions in atomic, nuclear, and particle contexts. The text emphasizes applications and makes the connection to the Standard Model of particle physics. In each chapter, carefully designed problem sets reinforce key principles and stimulate original thought. Extensively illustrated, this classroomtested text provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to quantum mechanics.

Nanomaterials Optics of Nanomaterials Vladimir I. Gavrilenko Norfolk State University, Virginia, USA
“Vladimir Gavrilenko has developed an extremely useful book for scientists who are interested in the rapidly developing field of nanomaterials with emphasis on the optical properties of these materials. Of particular importance is that the book covers many different kinds of optical properties (linear and nonlinear, coherent and incoherent), and many different kinds of materials (carbon and silicon-based, metals, semiconductors, and biological nanomaterials). For each topic there is a careful discussion of fundamental theory as well as specific applications that have proven important to the development of the field. There are also extensive citations to recent papers.” --Prof. George C. Schatz, Northwestern University, USA
The literature has sufficiently explained the chemistry, physics, and optical properties of simple atoms and molecules, but this book demonstrates that there is much to be learned about the optics of nanomaterials. Through comparative analysis of the size-dependent optical response from nanomaterials, this work demonstrates that although we have made strides in computational chemistry and physics, bridging length scales from nano to macro remains a major challenge. Organic, molecular, polymer, and biological systems are shown to be potentially useful models for assembly, as our progress in understanding the optical properties of biological nanomaterials is important driving force for a variety of applications.

This book examines single-electron circuits as an introduction to the rapidly expanding field of nanoelectronics. It discusses both the analysis and synthesis of circuits with the nanoelectronic metallic single-electron tunneling (SET) junction device. The basic physical phenomena under consideration are the quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons through a small insulating gap between two metal leads, the Coulomb blockade and Coulomb oscillations. These are the last two, resulting from the quantization of charge. The author employs an unconventional approach to explain the operation and design of single-electron circuits.
