Basic Physics of Nanoscience Traditional Approaches and New Aspects at the Ultimate Level
Auteur : Schommers Wolfram

The Physics of Nanoscience deals with the description of properties at nanolevel and self-organizing quantum processes of nanosystems. The state of the art is presented, and also future developments are theoretically discussed. The book starts with simple nanosystems and shows that the properties of nanosystems are very sensitive to small variations in the interaction potential, much more than in the bulk case. The structure and dynamics of nanosystems as a function of temperature is also discussed. Then self-organizing quantum processes - which are essential in the design of new nanosystems - are analyzed in detail and new aspects related to the quantum-theoretical nature of time are discussed leading to an expansion of the basic laws through nanotechnology. The book ends with a discussion of the effect of nanotechnological manipulations of brain functions and the need for the development of reliable models for the matter-mind complex.
