Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Systematics of making things smaller, pre-quantum -- 3. What are limits to smallness? -- 4. Quantum nature of the nanoworld -- 5. Quantum consequences for the macroworld -- 6. Self-assembled nanostructures in nature and industry -- 7. Physics-based experimental approaches to nanofabrication and nanotechnology -- 8. Quantum technologies based on magnetism, electron and nuclear spin, and superconductivity -- 9. Silicon nanoelectronics and beyond -- 10. Nanophysics and nanotechnology of graphene -- 11. Looking into the future.
Summary: "Expanded by around 10-15 % to incorporate recent developments in the field, the new edition of this highly successful textbook is unique in its tutorial presentation of the physical concepts and experimental approaches that lie at the heart of nanotechnology. A completely new section section as been added on graphene ... There are updates and corrections to every chapter, including the references"--
