Nanostructures in Biological Systems (eBook, PDF)

Theory and Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a survey on the theoretical as well as experimental results on nanostructures in biological systems. It shows how a unifying approach starting from single-particle energy, deriving free energy of the system and determining the equilibrium by minimizing the free energy, can be applied to describe electrical and elastic phenomena. It hel
