Nanoscience and technology is a rapidly developing area of research in physics, chemistry and materials. This volume is comprised of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute in Hong Kong and is a timely pubication of developments in novel structures in phenomena of nanostructured materials. The topics include:
* two dimensional nanoclusters on metal surfaces
* quantum dynamics of coupled quantum-dot qubits and dephasing effects induced by measurements
* coating of metal oxides onto surface of mesoporous silicas
* synthesis of boron nitride nanotube array
The volume is a useful source of reference for postgraduates, professionals and researchers in nanoscience and technology.
