Encyclopaedia Of Microscience, Technology And Engineering

Microtechnologies are a fast-developing field of research, which sit at the point of convergence of several disciplines. This practically-oriented overview is designed to provide students and researchers with essential information on both the tools of manufacture and specific features of the nanometric scale, as well as applications within the most active fields like Electronics, Magnetism, Information Storage, Biology. Each section of the encyclopaedia devotes considerable space to industrial applications and prospective developments. Providing the first self-contained introduction to the physical concepts, techniques and applications of nanophysics, this is of interest to readers grounded in college chemistry and physics. Encyclopaedia of Microscience Technology and Engineering has been brought out to acquaint the readers with the hype and the rigmarole behind nanophysics. The critical insights presented forth in the encyclopaedia are highly informative, and it serves well for all those interested in understanding nanotechnology and nanophysics in all its machinations, and manifestations. The emphasis of this Encyclopaedia is on presenting forth a thorough introductory manual on the subject, detailing its history, the science and the practice, the techniques, the trends and developments, and the future of this science.
