Optical tweezers, tools based on strongly focused light, enable optical trapping,
manipulation, and characterisation of a wide range of microscopic and nanoscopic …

Nanotechnology opens a door to tailing materials and creating various nanostructures for
use in dye-sensitized solar cells. This review classifies the nanostructures into (1) …

The existence of magnetic domains arises from the action of several interactions present in
magnetic materials, mainly exchange, anisotropy, and dipolar. This chapter deals with some …

Recently, with scaling down of semiconductor devices, need for nanotechnology has
increased enormously. For nanoscale devices especially, each of the layers should be as …

As nanomaterials get smaller, their properties increasingly diverge from their bulk material
counterparts. Written from a materials science perspective, Adsorption and Diffusion in …

Nanomaterials fabrication methods can be classified according to whether their assembly
followed either the so called bottom-up approach or the top-down approach. The bottom-up …

Open quantum systems that interact with structured reservoirs exhibit non-Markovian
dynamics. We present a quantum jump method for treating the dynamics of such systems …

Interfacial molecular electrochemistry is presently moving toward new levels of structural
and functional resolution, approaching even that of the single molecules. This evolution …

We describe the functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with 4-(2-
trimethylsilyl) ethynylaniline and the subsequent attachment of a zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) …

We describe the synthesis and characterization of a series of single-wall carbon nanotubes
(SWNTs) functionalized with polyamidoamine dendrimers. Importantly, the dendrimers are …
