Description
AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS Handbook Of Theoretical And Computational Nanotechnology, 10 Vols. Set by Rieth M
If one wishes to control unpredictability and unintended consequences in nanoscience, declare the editors (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany), than there is no alternative to the use of computational and theoretical methods of nanoscience, hence this 10-volume reference compendium, which provides an introduction and overview of the interdisciplinary breadth of the field. The Handbook's 138 cross-referenced chapters cover mainly the following fields: computational biology, including DNA, enzymes, proteins, biomechanisms, neurogenetic information processing, and nanomedicine; computational chemistry, including quantum chemistry, molecular design, chemical reactions, drugs, and design; computational methods and simulation techniques from ab initio to multiscale modeling; materials behavior at the nanolevel, such as mechanics, defects, diffusions, and dynamics; nanoscale processes, including membranes, pores, diffusion, growth, friction, wear, and catalysis; nanostructured materals such as metals, composites, polymers, liquid crystals, photonic crystals, colloids, and nanotubes; nanostructures, including fullerenes, nanotubes, clusters, layers, quantum dots, thin films, surfaces, and interfaces; nanoengineering and nanodesign of nanomachines, nano-computer-aided-design, nanodevices, and logic circuits; nanoelectronics, including molecular.
