Purushottam Chakraborty + 1 more
English

This book showcases the complexities and uniqueness of low-dimensional materials and highlights the most recent discoveries in the field. Low-dimensional nanoscale materials are challenging as they exhibit properties distinctly different from their bulk counterparts. There is an exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level due to high surface-to-volume ratios in these materials, and not only are their electronic, optical, and chemical properties different, so too are their mechanical characteristics. This book highlights the state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental descriptions of the complexities, unique properties, and latest applications of low-dimensional materials. The book is primarily for researchers working on the simulation, fabrication, analysis, and uses of low-dimensional nanoscale materials, including materials scientists, condensed matter physicists, chemists, electrical engineers, and bio-technologists. Applications covered include electronic, optoelectronic, magnetic, photonic, plasmonic, and bioengineering.

A revision of the leading text on experimental physics. The feature of this book that has made it one of the most loved texts on the subject is that it goes far beyond a mere description of key experiments in physics. The authors successfully provide the reader with an understanding and appreciation of the 'physics' behind the experiments.With the help of new co-author Frank Wolf, the authors have developed digital signal processing (DSP) for the undergraduate laboratory, based on software they will create using commercial hardware from National Instruments. With DSP, . They will introduce DSP in 4 classic experiments: NMR, magnetic moment of the muon, the Faraday effect, and the Mössbauer experiment.They will also add sections on Pulsed NMR, photon counting and scanning probe microscopy. Two new appendices will be added covering LabView software as well as How to use an Oscilloscope.The authors have also added many more examples to the Data and Error Analysis section as students have a tough time with this topic. topic.
