Advances in Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly. This book gathers and presents data on nanotechnology, including dynamical symmetries in nanophysics; tubular carbon nanostructures; nanotribology and biomaterials; germanium nanocrystals; particles as protein markers and nanowire chemical gas sensors.
