Nanotechnology and nanoelectronics : materials, devices, measurement techniques / [edited by] W.R. Fahrner.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book provides a didactically structured presentation of nanotechnology as matters stand. Both students and engineers can gain valuable insights into the historical development, production, and characterization procedures of structures in the manometer range, their electrical applications, measuring procedures for the determination of nano-defect, nano-layer, and nano-particle characteristics, and the major techniques of preparation in nanotechnology. Based on known facts, an evaluation of nanotechnology, its further development, and its future prospects are attempted.
