Nano Science and Technology: Novel Structures

Nanoscience and technology is a rapidly developing area of research in physics, chemistry, and materials. This volume comsists of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute in Hong Kong that explore developments in novel structures in phenomena of nanostructured materials.The topics include:· two-dimensional nanoclusters on metal surfaces,· quantum dynamics of coupled quantum-dot cubits and dephasing effects induced by measurements,· coating of metal oxides onto surface of mesoporous silicas, and· synthesis of boron nitride nanotube arraysNano Science and Technology: Novel Structures and Phenomena is a useful source of reference for postgraduates, professionals, and researchers in this fast growing field.

Zikang Tang, Associate Professor of Physics, and Ping Sheng, Professor of Physics, are both at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
