Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-47913-030-11731-6 Introduction -- Particles, waves and duality -- Atomic Mater -- Atomic Structure and Interactions -- Electronic Structure -- Nanoelectronics -- DOS and Dimensionality -- Spintronics -- Nanophotonics -- Nanofabrication -- Nanocharacterization -- Safety, Health, Environmental and Social Impact.Nanotechnology is the art, science, and engineering of designing materials, devices, and systems at the nanoscale from bottom-up and/or top-down approaches. The material properties at the nanoscale are governed by quantum mechanics, and hence are drastically different than those at the macro/micro scale. It is thus no surprise, that nanotechnology has led to a scientific and technological revolution. This book provides a gentle introduction to the field of nanotechnology for first-year undergraduate students. It not only covers the fundamental scientific concepts in a tutorial fashion, but also provides an overview of applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, nanophotonics, nanofabrication and nanocharacterization. End of chapter research assignments focus on nanomanufacturing, computing and communication, renewable energy, defense applications, food processing and agriculture, automobile and aerospace technology, nanobiotechnology and bionanotechnology, industrial and consumer applications. Finally, the topics related to safety, health, and societal impact of nanotechnology are discussed. .Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Nanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresNanotechnologyLasersPhotonicsOptical materialsElectronic materialsEnergy harvestingNanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Nanotechnology and Microengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000Nanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Energy Harvestinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/117000Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Nanotechnology.Lasers.Photonics.Optical materials.Electronic materials.Energy harvesting.Nanoscale Science and Technology.Nanotechnology and Microengineering.Nanotechnology.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Optical and Electronic Materials.Energy Harvesting.620.5620.5Raza Hassanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut781362MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337883403321Freshman Lectures on Nanotechnology1870578UNINA
