This book collects selected lectures from the Third Workshop of the Croucher Advanced Study Institute on Nano Science and Technology, and showcases contributions from world-renowned researchers. The book presents in-depth articles on the latest developments in nanomaterials and nanotechnology, and provides a cross-disciplinary perspective covering physics and biophysics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

Nanoscience and technology is a rapidly developing area of research in physics, chemistry and materials. This volume comprises of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute in Hong Kong and is a timely pubication of developments in novel structures in phenomena of nanostructured materials. The topics include:

* two dimensional nanoclusters on metal surfaces
* quantum dynamics of coupled quantum-dot qubits and dephasing effects induced by measurements
* coating of metal oxides onto surface of mesoporous silicas
* synthesis of boron nitride nanotube array

The volume is a useful source of reference for postgraduates, professionals and researchers in nanoscience and technology.
