Encyclopaedia of Nano Physics

Encyclopaedia of Nano Physics deals briefly with the subject areas on nano-optics, nanotube, nanofibre, nano-sensor, nanowire and nanoribbon. Keeping in mind the applications and utilities of nano physics for meeting the contemporary global energy requirements,it seems that this subject will become the core area of future nanoscience and nanotechnology research. Nanostructured materials do not represent a new phenomenon. However, the ability to probe, manipulate, understand and engineer matter at atomic scales has only recently come within our grasp. This book tends to cover the aforementioned subject areas in their broadest possible terms. All useful supplementary research and reference tools have been included for readers' further investigations in the subject area of Nano Physics.
