Nanoscale Physics for Materials Science

By Takaaki Tsurumi, Martin Vacha, Hiroyuki Hirayama, et al.

Book Overview

Exploring the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale level, this text covers fundamental cross-disciplinary concepts in materials science and engineering. It presents a comprehensive description of the physical phenomena and changes that can be expected when macroscopically sized materials are reduced to the nanometer level. The authors link physical phenomena with recent scientific and technological developments and present an overview of quantum mechanics and the band structure of solids. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
