What Authors Are Saying About This Edition:

"… This updated work (1st ed., 2008) takes therevolutionary concepts and techniques that havetraditionally been fodder for graduate study andmakes them accessible for all. Covering subjectsranging from materials science to mechanics andbiotechnology to photonics, Rogers and Adams(both, Nevada Nano) and Pennathur (Univ. ofCalifornia, Santa Barbara) deftly introduce thereader to each topic and quickly explain why it isimportant on the nanoscale. An exciting feature isthe "back of the envelope" examples, where thereader is walked through "quick and dirty" calcu-lations to illustrate and understand (mathemati-cally) the complex concepts discussed. The end ofeach chapter includes traditional problem setsand short answer questions to test understand-ing. While not a comprehensive text in any specif-ic area of nanoscale science or engineering, thisoutstanding introduction to the broad field ofnanotechnology provides a solid foundation forfurther study. “Summing Up: Highly recommended."

A Novel Pedagogical Approach to Quantum Mechanics

"A physical understanding is a completely unmathematical, imprecise,and inexact thing, but absolutely necessary for a physicist."

—R. Feynman

The core of modern physics, quantum theory iscounter-intuitive and challenging for those newto the field. Quantum Principles and Particlespresents the fundamentals in a particularly visu-al manner and applies them to aspects of parti-cle interactions. Inspired by the author’s workwith Nobel laureate Julian Schwinger, the bookintroduces the primary principles of the micro-scopic world through an analysis of the simplestpossible quantum mechanical system—spin 1/2.

A Visual Approach to Quantum Mechanics

This two-semester introductory undergraduatetextbook balances simplification and rigor toprovide an accessible, solid foundation in quan-tum mechanics. Taking a unique pedagogicalapproach, the author uses hypothetical quan-tum devices—process diagrams—to orient andguide the reader. These process diagrams helpreaders visualize states and operators, and illus-trate ways to compute amplitudes for quantummechanical processes.

From Small Steps in Quantum Mechanicsto a Leap into Particle Physics

The first part of the book presents the essentialprinciples in the development of quantummechanics, starting with spin state analysis andwave mechanics. Delving into quantum parti-cles, the second part develops a consistent pic-ture of particle descriptions and interactions inatomic, nuclear, and particle contexts. The textemphasizes applications and makes the connec-tion to the Standard Model of particle physics. Ineach chapter, carefully designed problem setsreinforce key principles and stimulate originalthought. Extensively illustrated, this classroom-tested text provides a clear and comprehensiveintroduction to quantum mechanics.

Features

• Emphasizes basic quantum principlesdeduced from fundamental experiments

• Presents quantum theory in a novel way byusing process diagrams as a visual tool

• Guides students from elementary quantummechanics to aspects of particle physics

• Incorporates extensive problem sets to reinforce key principles

• Uses simplified bra-ket notation throughout• Includes extensive illustrations • Contains helpful appendices on notation,

Optics of NanomaterialsVladimir I. GavrilenkoNorfolk State University, Virginia, USA

“Vladimir Gavrilenko has developed an extremely useful book for scientistswho are interested in the rapidly developing field of nanomaterials withemphasis on the optical properties of these materials. Of particular impor-tance is that the book covers many different kinds of optical properties (lin-ear and nonlinear, coherent and incoherent), and many different kinds ofmaterials (carbon and silicon-based, metals, semiconductors, and biologicalnanomaterials). For each topic there is a careful discussion of fundamentaltheory as well as specific applications that have proven important to thedevelopment of the field. There are also extensive citations to recent papers.”

--Prof. George C. Schatz, Northwestern University, USA

The literature has sufficiently explained thechemistry, physics, and optical properties of sim-ple atoms and molecules, but this book demon-strates that there is much to be learned aboutthe optics of nanomaterials. Through compara-tive analysis of the size-dependent opticalresponse from nanomaterials, this work demon-strates that although we have made strides incomputational chemistry and physics, bridginglength scales from nano to macro remains amajor challenge. Organic, molecular, polymer,and biological systems are shown to be poten-tially useful models for assembly, as our progressin understanding the optical properties of bio-logical nanomaterials is important driving forcefor a variety of applications.

"…By clarifying the relationship between modelsof different levels, this book offers useful knowl-edge on modeling which makes single-electrondevices treated the same as conventional transis-tors during circuit design. … perspectives involvedalso help to conceive novel nano-devices. It is avery good reference for researchers … in this excit-ing area."

—Ning Deng, Tsinghua University, China

This book examines single-electron circuits as anintroduction to the rapidly expanding field ofnanoelectronics. It discusses both the analysisand synthesis of circuits with the nanoelectronicmetallic single-electron tunneling (SET) junctiondevice. The basic physical phenomena underconsideration are the quantum mechanical tun-neling of electrons through a small insulatinggap between two metal leads, the Coulombblockade and Coulomb oscillations. These arethe last two, resulting from the quantization ofcharge. The author employs an unconventionalapproach to explain the operation and design ofsingle-electron circuits.
