Textbook introducing engineers to quantum mechanics and nanostructures, covering the fundamentals and applications to nanoscale materials and nanodevices.
Nanotechnology: From Its Origin to Present and Future Applications offers a comprehensive and detailed exploration of nanotechnology, tracing its journey from early theoretical foundations to its current and potential future applications. Written by telecommunications and technology expert Ron Legarski, this book delves into the vast possibilities nanotechnology holds across various industries, including healthcare, energy, electronics, artificial intelligence, and telecommunications. With the convergence of nanotechnology, AI, and machine learning driving innovation, this book provides readers with a deep understanding of the science behind nanoscale structures and their real-world applicat...
This book focuses on bulk and nanostructure crystals, and specifically discusses possible crystal lattices, their reciprocal lattices, and the Bragg relation for determining crystal structure. It describes band theory in independent electron approximation using the usual perturbation quantum theory, as well as how the internal electric field of the lattice periodic potential affects degenerate states at the Brillouin zone boundaries by using the Stark effect, which leads to energy bands separated by energy gaps. The book also discusses low-dimensional systems and nanostructures using the free electron model and tight binding model. The band structure and wave function of graphene, graphene nanoribbons, single-wall carbon nanotubes, and double-wall carbon nanotubes are obtained. Additionally, nanostructure vibrations are discussed. This text is for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as researchers who are interested in working on different condensed matter physics subjects. We use simple methods to introduce and explain the initial concepts of crystal structure physics to undergraduate students.
The physics of emission, absorption and interaction of light in astrophysics and in laboratory plasmas is developed from first principles and applied across various fields, from quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, to statistical physics. This text links undergraduate level atomic and radiation physics with the advanced material required for postgraduate study and research.
Information theory is essentially about correlations, and the novel approach of Bananaworld is to get at what's counterintuitive about quantum information by considering correlations between normally mundane experiences that every reader can relate to.
Focusing on atom-light interactions and containing numerous exercises, this in-depth textbook prepares students for research in a fast-growing field.
A comprehensive textbook on nanoelectronics covering the underlying physics, nanostructures, nanomaterials and nanodevices.
Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter interaction. Describing the basic phenomena, principles, experimental advances and potential impact of nanophotonics, this graduate-level textbook is ideal for students in physics, optical and electronic engineering and materials science. The textbook highlights practical issues, material properties and device feasibility, and includes the basic optical properties of metals, semiconductors and dielectrics. Mathematics is kept to a minimum and theoretical issues are reduced to a conceptual level. Each chapter ends in problems so readers can monitor their understanding of the material presented. The introductory quantum theory of solids and size effects in semiconductors are considered to give a parallel discussion of wave optics and wave mechanics of nanostructures. The physical and historical interplay of wave optics and quantum mechanics is traced. Nanoplasmonics, an essential part of modern photonics, is also included.
A self-contained guide to the Physics GRE, reviewing all of the topics covered alongside three practice exams with fully worked solutions.
