Nanoscale Physics for Materials Science

Product Description

Although there are many books available on the preparation, properties, and characterization of nanomaterials, few provide an interdisciplinary account of the physical phenomena that govern the novel properties of nanomaterials. Addressing this shortfall, Nanoscale Physics for Materials Science covers fundamental cross-disciplinary concepts in materials science and engineering. It presents a comprehensive description of the physical phenomena and changes that can be expected when macroscopically sized materials are reduced to the nanometer level.

The text is divided according to physical phenomena and interactions. After reviewing the necessary theoretical background, the authors address the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties as functions of size and distance. They discuss the energy spectrum, the charging effect, tunneling phenomena, electronically induced stable nanostructures, absorption and scattering, electromagnetic interactions, magnetism, ferromagnetic domain-wall-related phenomena, and spin transport in magnetic nanostructures. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter.

Providing an excellent treatment of physical phenomena not covered in similar books, this text explores the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale level. It delves into the dramatic physical changes that occur on scales where the quantum nature of objects starts dominating their properties.

Plasticity, Failure and Fatigue in Structural Materials – From Macro to Nano: Proceedings of the Hael Mughrabi Honorary Symposium

Product Description
This book contains papers from the symposium held to honor Professor Hael Mughrabi, who devoted 40 years of research to the mechanical behavior of materials. In particular, Professor Mughrabi performed fundamental studies on the mechanisms of plastic deformation and fatigue based on dislocation mechanics. Readers of this book will find research development in deformation and fatigue including very high cycle fatigue of advanced engineering materials. Particular emphasis is given to mechanical properties of nanomaterials, and to the behavior and processes at the nanoscale in engineering materials. Specific subjects include deformation and fracture mechanisms; single crystals; mathematical modeling; cyclic, static and dynamic loading; and damage evolution.

OpticaOptical Properties And Spectroscopy Of Nanomaterials

Product Description
Optical properties are among the most fascinating and useful properties of nanomaterials and have been extensively studied using a variety of optical spectroscopic techniques. A basic understanding of the optical properties and related spectroscopic techniques is essential for anyone who is interested in learning about nanomaterials of semiconductors, insulators or metal. This is partly because optical properties are intimately related to other properties and functionalities (e.g. electronic, magnetic, and thermal) that are of fundamental importance to many technological applications, such as energy conversion, chemical analysis, biomedicine, optoelectronics, communication, and radiation detection. Intentionally designed for upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students with some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this book provides the first systematic coverage of optical properties and spectroscopic techniques of nanomaterials.
