This introductory, reference handbook summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations discovered in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. The short form of information taken from textbooks, special encyclopedias, recent original books and papers provides fast support in understanding "old" and new terms of nanoscience and technology widely used in scientific literature on recent developments. A representative collection of fundamental terms and definitions accompanies recommended second sources (books, reviews, websites) for an extended study of a subject. Each entry interprets the term or definition under consideration and briefly presents main features of the phenomena behind it. Additional information in the form of notes ("First described in: ", "Recognition: ", "More details in: ") supplements entries and gives a historical retrospective of the subject with reference to further sources. More than 1000 entries, from a few sentences to a page in length.
Ideal for answering questions related to unknown terms and definitions of undergraduate and Ph.D. students when studying the physics of low-dimensional structures, nanoelectronics, nanotechnology.
The book will be also useful for university teachers, managers and mass-media people dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Dieses Handbuch fasst Begriffe, Definitionen, Phänomene und Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Chemie, Physik und Technologie von Nanostrukturen auf einführendem Niveau zusammen. Mehr als 1000 übersichtlich strukturierte und präzise formulierte Einträge beantworten alle einschlägigen Fragen von Studenten und Doktoranden, Lehrern, Journalisten und anderen Interessenten hinsichtlich Quantenphysik, Quantenchemie, Mathematik, organische und anorganische Chemie sowie Anwendungstechnologie von Strukturen im Nanometermaßstab. Zahlreiche Querverweise und Hinweise auf weiterführende Medien (Bücher, Übersichtsartikel, Websites) erleichtern die Suche nach speziellen Informationen.

This introductory, reference handbook summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations discovered in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures. These nanostructures are typically inorganic and organic structures at the atomic scale. Fast progressing nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, molecular electronics and spintronics, nanotechnology and quantum processing of information, are of strategic importance for the information society of the 21st century.
The short form of information taken from textbooks, special encyclopedias, recent original books and papers provides fast support in understanding "old" and new terms of nanoscience and technology widely used in scientific literature on recent developments. Such support is indeed important when one reads a scientific paper presenting new results in nanoscience. A representative collection of fundamental terms and definitions from quantum physics, and quantum chemistry, special mathematics, organic and inorganic chemistry, solid state physics, material science and technology accompanies recommended second sources (books, reviews, websites) for an extended study of a subject.
Each entry interprets the term or definition under consideration and briefly presents main features of the phenomena behind it. Additional information in the form of notes ("First described in: ?", "Recognition: ?", "More details in: ?") supplements entries and gives a historical retrospective of the subject with reference to further sources.
Ideal for answering questions related to unknown terms and definitions of undergraduate and Ph.D. students studying the physics of low-dimensional structures, nanoelectronics, nanotechnology.
The handbook provides fast support, when one likes to know or to remind the essence of a scientific term, especially when it contains a personal name in its title, like in terms "Anderson localization", "Aharonov-Bohm effect", "Bose-Einstein condensate", e.t.c
