Nano-science and nano-technology are rapidly developing scientific
and technological areas that deal with physical, chemical and
biological processes that occur on nano-meter scale - one millionth
of a millimeter. Self-organization and pattern formation play
crucial role on nano-scales and promise new, effective routes to
control various nano-scales processes. This book contains lecture
notes written by the lecturers of the NATO Advanced Study Institute
"Self-Assembly, Pattern Formation and Growth Phenomena in
Nano-Systems" that took place in St Etienne de Tinee, France, in
the fall 2004. They give examples of self-organization phenomena on
micro- and nano-scale as well as examples of the interplay between
phenomena on nano- and macro-scales leading to complex behavior in
various physical, chemical and biological systems. They discuss
such fascinating nano-scale self-organization phenomena as
self-assembly of quantum dots in thin solid films, pattern
formation in liquid crystals caused by light, self-organization of
micro-tubules and molecular motors, as well as basic physical and
chemical phenomena that lead to self-assembly of the most important
molecule on the basis of which most of living organisms are built -
DNA. A review of general features of all pattern forming systems is
also given. The authors of these lecture notes are the leading
experts in the field of self-organization, pattern formation and
nonlinear dynamics in non-equilibrium, complex systems.
In 1998 the chairman of the Russian National Committee of TMM
Professor Arcady Bessonov, recommended one of authors of this book
to be come a member of the IFToMM Permanent Commission on the
History of Mechanisms and Machines Sciences (PC HMMS). Willy-nilly
from this time the history of technique, as hobby passed on to a
serious the employment in the history of engineering science.
Interest history of a subject is natural for Professor, a leading a
course of Theory of Mechanisms and Machines in Bauman University.
This interest is supported by the fact that Bauman University is
one of the oldest technical universities in Russia, and the course
"Applied Mechanics" - later "Theory of Mechanisms and Machines" was
the first systematic course in Russia. The second author supervises
a cycle of laboratory works on TMM. Models of mechanisms are placed
in laboratory in show-windows of ancient cases quite possibly
coevals of the first course. He became interested in contents of
these cases: firstly in models, and then in their origin. Later he
occupied himself with the creation of a web-site "The Collection of
mechanisms in department TMM in Bauman University." Gradually both
authors had the idea of cooperation, although several years
previously, we could not imagine this happening. We took an active
part in the work of PC HMMS from 2000. It was promoted by of
chairman of the commission Professor Marco Ceccarelli.
