Do you ever wonder why size is so important at the scale of
nanosystems? Do you want to understand the fundamental principles
that govern the properties of nanomaterials? Do you want to
establish a foundation for working in the field of nanoscience and
nanotechnology? Then this book is written with you in mind.
Foundations for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology provides some of the
physical chemistry needed to understand why properties of small
systems differ both from their constituent molecular entities and
from the corresponding bulk matter. This is not a book about
nanoscience and nanotechnology, but rather an exposition of basic
knowledge required to understand these fields. The collection of
topics makes it unique, and these topics include: The concept of
quantum confinement and its consequences for electronic behaviour
(Part II) The importance of surface thermodynamics for activity and
interactions of nanoscale systems (Part III) The need to consider
fluctuations as well as mean properties in small systems (Part IV)
The interaction of light with matter and specific applications of
spectroscopy and microscopy (Part V) This book is written for
senior undergraduates or junior graduate students in science or
engineering disciplines who wish to learn about or work in the
areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology, but who do not have the
requisite background in chemistry or physics. It may also be useful
as a refresher or summary text for chemistry and physics students
since the material is focused on those aspects of quantum
mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics that
specifically relate to the size of objects.
