This book which is a joint effort of The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), addresses those topics in nanotechnology that have acquired a reasonable degree of theoretical maturity, though according to the author-editor, nanotechnology is still in embryonic stage. Mathematical modeling and simulation are two valuable techniques which have myriads of uses in almost all branches of sciences and engineering. They are particularly indispensable in under-standing nanotechnology. This text focuses on modeling and simulation at the nanoscale presenting significant theory based on sound physical laws. The leading researchers worldwide have contributed eight substantive chapters to this volume covering nanostructured thin films, photonic bandgap structures, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, atomistic techniques, nanomechanics, nanofluidics, and quantum information processing. While the intent is to serve as a reference source for expert researchers, there is sufficient content for beginner researchers and students as well. The level of pre-sentation in each chapter assumes a fundamental background at the level of an engineering or a science graduate.isbn-9788120330948
