The future applications of nanotechnology in high-tech industries require deep understanding of the theoretical and computational aspects of all kinds of materials and devices at a nanometer scale. Handbook of Theoretical and Computational Nanotechnology is the first single reference source ever published in field that offers such an unified approach covering all of the major topics dealing with theory, modeling, design and simulations of nanostructured materials and nanodevices, quantum computing, computational chemistry, physics and biology, nanomechanics, nanomachines, nanoelectronics, nanoprocesses, nanomagnetism, nano-optics, nanomedicines, nanobiotechnology, etc. This 10-volume (ca. 8,000 pages) handbook provides the first ideal introduction and an up-to-date survey of the fascinating new developments and interdisciplinary activities in the whole field presented by scientists working in different subject areas of science, engineering and medicine. This handbook is the most profound publication on this topic- the first treatment of the computational nanotechnology. This outstanding handbook presented by 265 world's leading scientists, is the most significant academic title ever published in this research field. This handbook has been divided into 10 thematic volumes by documenting computational treatment of nanomaterials and nanodevices. 10-VOLUME SET ( ca. 8,000 pages) Volume 1: Basic Concepts, Nanomachines and Bionanodevices Volume 2: Atomistic Simulations - Algorithms and Methods Volume 3: Quantum and Molecular Computing, and Quantum Simulations Volume 4: Nanomechanics and Multiscale Modeling Volume 5: Transport Phenomena and Nanoscale Processes Volume 6: Bioinformatics, Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Volume 7: Magnetic Nanostructures and Nano-optics Volume 8: Functional Nanomaterials, Nanoparticles and Polymer Nanostructures Volume 9: Nanocomposites, Nano-Assemblies, and Nanosurfaces Volume 10: Nanodevice Modeling and Nanoelectronics

Editorial Reviews

Review

Professor Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, Nobel Prize Laureate Nanoscience is fashionable. All administrations in the Western world have stressed their interest in nano-objects and nanotechnologies. The aim of the present handbook is to help us with the tools by suitable modelizations. It is written by leading experts, starting from general theoretical principles and progressing to detailed recipes. Soon after the first wave, including this handbook, a certain form of nano-industry may be born. --From Foreword
