Nanoscale Science and Technology [Paperback]

Nanoscale Science and Technology summarizes six years of active research sponsored by NATO with the participation of the leading experts.
The book provides an interdisciplinary view of several aspects of physics at the atomic scale. It contains an overview of the latest findings on the transport of electrons in nanowires and nanoconstrictions, the role of forces in probe microscopy, the control of structures and properties in the nanometer range, aspects of magnetization in nanometric structures, and local probes for nondestructive measurement as provided by light and metal clusters near atomic scales.Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Toledo, Spain, May 11-16, 1997Nanoscale Science and Technology summarizes six years of active research sponsored by NATO with the participation of the leading experts.
