商品描述
Nanotechnology is the art, science, and engineering of designing materials, devices, and systems at the nanoscale from bottom-up and/or top-down approaches. The material properties at the nanoscale are governed by quantum mechanics, and hence are drastically different than those at the macro/micro scale. It is thus no surprise, that nanotechnology has led to a scientific and technological revolution.
This book provides a gentle introduction to the field of nanotechnology for first-year undergraduate students. It not only covers the fundamental scientific concepts in a tutorial fashion, but also provides an overview of applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, nanophotonics, nanofabrication and nanocharacterization. End of chapter research assignments focus on nanomanufacturing, computing and communication, renewable energy, defense applications, food processing and agriculture, automobile and aerospace technology, nanobiotechnology and bionanotechnology, industrial and consumer applications. Finally, the topics related to safety, health, and societal impact of nanotechnology are discussed.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
奈米科技是設計材料、裝置和系統於奈米尺度的藝術、科學和工程,採用自下而上和/或自上而下的方法。奈米尺度的材料特性受量子力學的支配,因此與宏觀/微觀尺度的特性有著顯著的不同。因此,奈米科技引發了一場科學和技術的革命並不令人驚訝。
本書為一年級本科生提供了奈米科技領域的簡單介紹。它不僅以教學的方式涵蓋基本的科學概念,還提供了在奈米電子學、旋量電子學、奈米光子學、奈米製造和奈米表徵等應用的概述。每章結尾的研究作業專注於奈米製造、計算與通信、可再生能源、防禦應用、食品加工與農業、汽車與航空航天技術、奈米生物技術和生物奈米技術、工業和消費者應用。最後,還討論了與奈米科技的安全、健康和社會影響相關的主題。
