Sinopsis

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 electronics, nanodevices, electronic states, and nanowires; magnetic properties nanostructures and nanostructured materials, nanooptics, including optical response theory, quantum dots, luminescence, and photonic crystals; and quantum computers, covering theoretical aspects, devices, and computational methods for simulating quantum computers and algorithms. Where color illustrations are included, coded stock is used, while otherwise regular paper is used. Each article includes extensive references. An index for the full set is included in the final volume. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
