Nanostructures fabrication and analysis The main theme of this book is the exploration the underlying physical laws that permit the fabrication of nanometer scale structures. As researchers attempt to fabricate nanometer scale structures which do not exist per se they must still employ the natural laws to fabricate them through processes such as self assembly. This book will find service both as a reference work for researchers and as a comprehensive didactical text for graduate students. The main theme of this book is the exploration the underlying physical laws that permit the fabrication of nanometer scale structures. As researchers attempt to fabricate nanometer scale structures which do not exist per se they must still employ the natural laws to fabricate them through processes such as self assembly. So it turns out that our techniques for fabrication of nanometer scale structures are not artificial but actually rely on the natural laws. We even find that nanometer scale structures e.g. fullerenes are fabricated in nature beneath the surface of the Earth. This fact may be called the ubiquity of the nanometer scale structures. The topics presented in the book include: scanning probe related and near field techniques nanolithography self assembling and design of novel nanostructures as well as new nanodevices and their application.
