Textbook in PDF format

This textbook is written in a simple and logical way for the students of undergraduate-level with an enhanced and extended coverage of syllabus of choice based credit system. *Each and every topic in chapters is divided into several sub-sections and presented with experimental evidences and supporting figures. An extensive set of solved numerical problems and multiple choice questions with worked-out answers are added at the end of each chapter. *Objective type, short answer type and broad answer type questions have been furnished aplenty. *Basic formalisms of quantum mechanics, relevant length scales in nanotechnology, density of states in various dimensions and quantum confinement are presented in a clear, logical, and systematic way. Syntheses using various physical and chemical processes, characterization using microscopy like SEM, TEM, and AFM and applications in various technological fields are described in details. *Optical and electronic transport properties in various nanostructures like nanowire, nanorods, quantum dots, thin films, MEMS and NEMS are presented with necessary experimental results.
Written in a clear and lively language it is a nice introduction to the science of nanotechnology suited at the level of undergraduates. It comprises over 400 pages and is divided into 11 chapters.
Moreover this book includes some experimental data and graphs.
It even consists of objective type and short type questions which are very useful for the students who are willing to gather knowledge on nanoscience
