Nanotechnology : understanding small systems / [Ben] Rogers, [Sumita] Pennathur, [Jesse] Adams. - Boca Raton, FL : CRC Press, c2008. - xvii, 398 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. - Mechanical engineering series . - Mechanical engineering series (Boca Raton, Fla.) .
Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Big picture and principles of the small world -- Introduction to miniaturization -- Introduction to nanoscale physics -- Nanomaterials -- Nanomechanics -- Nanoelectronics -- Nanoscale heat transfer -- Nanophotonics -- Nanoscale fluid mechanics -- Nanobiotechnology.
"Nanotechnology: Understanding Small Systems provides a treatment of the world's fastest-growing field. Its multidisciplinary nature - which draws from physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering - has the inherent challenge of teaching students from many backgrounds." "Here you will find a systems-based approach, demonstrating how an understanding of the various areas underlying nanotechnology come together to create systems with unique functions and characteristics. Packed with examples, homework problems, and more than 150 illustrations, this is a book aimed to both instruct and inspire."--BOOK JACKET.
