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.
