The Nanoscope guides you through the fascinating world of Nanoscience and Nanophotonics using a lecture mode of presentation that suits students of basic and advanced levels. It starts with a simple introduction to Nanoscience and explains why it is such an important cross disciplinary science. Basics of crystallography can also be seen in one chapter, since this becomes essential for structural analysis of nanomaterials. Most of the relevant experimental techniques for the synthesis of nanostructures, devices for measuring their sizes, size distribution, the crystallographic nature etc. are outlined. Topics on quantum confined structures, photonic crystals, nanostructured magnetic materials, super para-magnetism and giant magnetoresistance are also presented in detail. Several examples and illustrations are included to make it appealing to the inquisitive student. So The Nanoscope is expected to help you 'see' the nanoworld better. This is a very useful book for the students of B.Sc., B. Tech. and Engineering who are studying nanotechnology. Some coloured figures have been included as appendix at the end of the book for the benefit of students.
