Biological Micro- and Nanotribology: Nature’s Solutions

Product Description
This book is written for scientists and engineers wishing to become familiar with biological micro- and nanotribology as a new interdisciplinary field of research combining methods and knowledge of physics, chemistry, mechanics and biology. Biological micro- and nanotribology aims to gather information about friction, adhesion and wear of biological systems and to apply this new knowledge to the design of micro-electro-mechanical systems, the development of new types of monolayer lubrication, the invention of new adhesives or the construction of artificial joints. Biologists, chemists, physicists and tribologists and many other applied scientists will find this book an essential addition to their libraries. Moreover, this book also gives an introduction to the higher levels of micromechanical analysis. It will provide valuable assistance for graduate students intending to become active in interdisciplinary research.

FROM THE REVIEWS:

PHYSICS TODAY “…a valuable addition to the literature on the micromechanics of very thin films with emphasis on friction, adhesion, and lubrication. The discussion is exceedingly well organized and well illustrated; many examples are provided from biological systems; and the extensive reference list – more than 700 entries – is up-to-date. Overall, the authors have succeeded admirably in providing an informative and thorough text, the publisher has produced an attractive book, and readers will find much material of interest…I recommend it to anyone who works in the area of micromechanics of friction and lubrication. It offers a useful survey and provides many interesting discussions of biological systems.”

Electrons and Electromagnetic Fields in Nanometer-Scale Structures

Product Description
This book deals with a topic of vital importance to the design and function of nanodevices. It covers combined systems of electrons and electromagnetic fields at nanometer scales. When the dimensions of an electromagnetic field reach the nanometer scale, it is impossible to determine whether it is an electromagnetic phenomenon or an excited electronic system. This volume covers this interdisciplinary field, with contributions from both the electronic system and electromagnetic areas.

Molecular Magnets

Product Description
MOLECULAR MAGNETS covers recent scientific highlights on molecular magnetism, an active new interdisciplinary field gathering chemists, physicists, theoreticians, and experimentalists. The book provides well-documented answers to some current questions. How can chemists use soft conditions to transform molecules in light and transparent magnets? How can a molecular system behave as a single molecule magnet? How can several functions be combined in the same molecular system? How can light be used to switch molecular magnetic properties? How can molecules be used for ultimate high-density information storage or in quantum computing? What methods are physicists developing to explore these new properties of matter? What concepts and calculations can be provided for theoreticians to design new objects and to better understand the field and to enlarge its exciting developments?
