Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Nanotechnology and Information ScienceAuthor(s): Yehuda B. Band, Yshai Avishai\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Academic Press Inc.(London) Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444537867, 978-0444537867\nSynopsis\nQuantum mechanics transcends and supplants classical mechanics at the atomic and subatomic levels. It provides the underlying framework for many subfields of physics, chemistry and materials science, including condensed matter physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear physics. It is the only way we can understand the structure of materials, from the semiconductors in our computers to the metal in our automobiles. It is also the scaffolding supporting much of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The purpose of this book is to present the fundamentals of quantum theory within a modern perspective, with emphasis on applications to nanoscience and nanotechn.
