Nano Science and Technology Novel Structures and Phenomena

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.
