In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum computation, tumor imaging, and photovoltaics. Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots foc…

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are two examples of low-dimensional nanomaterials. This book investigates QDs and SWCNTs using quantum-chemical calculations that describe details of excited state phenomena, and provides information ab…
Rapid advances in chemical synthesis and fabrication techniques have led to novel nano-sized materials that exhibit original and often unforeseen properties. One of the greatest advantages of these nano-systems is that their electronic and optical properties can be controlled, n…
This book deals with the electronic and optical properties of two low-dimensional systems: quantum dots and quantum antidots and is divided into two parts. Part one is a self-contained monograph which describes in detail the theoretical and experimental background for exploratio…
