A Handbook on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
by Victor E. Borisenko
What is What in the Nanoworld summarizes the terms and definitions, most important phenomena, and regulations discovered in the physics, chemistry, technology, and application of nanostructures.
What is What in the Nanoworld is 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.
