Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years nanoscience and nanotechnology has become one of the most exciting fields of study in Engineering and Sciences. This book is designed to give a comprehensive and to the point understanding of the subject, starting from the basics. No prior knowledge is requird to understand the concepts discussed in this book. The specific areas which cover theoretical basis of various nanoscale phenomena are presented with simple explanations. After giving a historical developments in the subject, a review of the various experimental tools needed to synthesize and study the properties of nanoparticles and naoscale materials are discussed. This book is aims to provide students and researchers in different areas to obtain an appreciation of developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology outside their own fields of expertise.
