Nanotechnology is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based on molecular self-assembly. This new book gathers and presents data on nanotechnology, including fourier diffusion and special relativity in nanotechnology; ion-synthesis of silver nanoparticles; self-organized meso-structures in confined soft materials; synthesis, properties and applications of germanium nanocrystals; optical characterization of nanoscale materials and structural transformation of Cd S nanoparticles upon annealing.
