About the Book

This extended and revised edition of the successful German version is a clearly structured and easily readable introduction, written by an experienced author with sound knowledge of experimental synthesis and analysis of nanostructures. Developed from courses on nanophysics and nanotechnology, this textbook covers the fundamental physics of nanostructures, methods of growth and manipulation, characterization methods with a focus on optical analyzing methods and nanooptics, a discussion of nano-architectures and the latest applications in optics, electronics, quantum computers, molecular nanostructures, biology and soft matter. This edition also includes an expanded discussion of quantum and classical effects as well as magnetic nanostructures. With its wide range of problems to test the reader's understanding, it is primarily aimed at graduate students with a basic knowledge of solid state physics, but can be equally used as a reference for professionals in physics, chemistry and materials science working on nanosystems, soft matter or biophysical matters.

About the Author :
Horst-Gunter Rubahn is Professor at the Mads Clausen Institute of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and head of the nanotechnology department with proficient teaching experience in nonlinear optics and spectroscopy, surface science and nanotechnology. His research activities concentrate on the development of new bottom up nanotechnology techniques as well as photonics methods such as nonlinear optical microscopies, evanescent wave spectroscopy, and advanced laser materials treatments. H.-G. Rubahn heads also the nanotechnology center NanoSYD of SDU (www.nanosyd.sdu.dk) and a Ph.D. school on mesoscopic structures and optics. He is founder of a start up company which develops organic nanofibers for the implementation in new nano-photonic devices.

Review :
"[..] preparing an account of basic nanotechnology which is appealing and accessible to readers from all these disciplines is a critical task for an author; Dr. Rubahn did rather well in this respect. [..] The book meets the goal of providing an accessible introduction to a very diverse group of readers [..]; its strengths lie in the presentation of various aspects of nanotechnology and the inclusion of some basic concepts. As there are not many books introducing nanotechnology at this level, this type of contribution to the literature is welcome. It is a recommended reading for scientists and engineers who would like to be introduced broadly to nanoscience and nanotechnology. [..] Overall, I highly recommend this textbook for the reader's library reference shelf." (Jn. of Nanotechnology, Vol. 3, March 2009)
