Interfacial phenomena driven by heat or mass transfer are
widespread in science and various branches of engineering. Research
in this area has become quite active in recent years, attributable
in part, at least, to the entry of physicists and their
sophisticated experimental techniques into the field. Until now,
however, the field has lacked a readable account of the recent
developments. Interfacial Phenomena and Convection remedies this
problem by furnishing a self-contained monograph that examines a
rich variety of phenomena in which interfaces pay a crucial role.
From a unified perspective that embraces physical chemistry, fluid
mechanics, and applied mathematics, the authors study recent
developments related to the Marangoni effect, including patterned
convection and instabilities, oscillatory/wavy phenomena, and
turbulent phenomena. They examine Benard layers subjected to
transverse and longitudinal thermal gradients and phenomena
involving surface tension gradients as the driving forces,
including falling films, drops, and liquid bridges. It is only in
the past two or three decades that researchers have performed
suitable, clear-cut experiments involving interfacial phenomena,
and the stage is now set for a virtual explosion of the field.
Interfacial Phenomena and Convection will bring you quickly up to
date on the advances realized and prepare you to both use the
results and to make further advances.

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.
