Classification of nanostructures: Nanoscale architecture; The free electron model and energy bands, Crystalline solids, Periodicity of crystal lattices, Electronic conduction ; Effects of the nanometer length scale , Changes to the system total energy, Changes to the system structure , How nanoscale dimensions affect properties. 1. Introduction to Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is the branch of science and engineering that deals with the study, design, synthesis, characterization, and application of materials and devices at the nanometer scale . The word nano is derived from the Greek word nanos , meaning dwarf . In measurement, 1 nanometer (nm) = 10⁻⁹ meters Nanotechnology focuses on materials whose size ranges from 1 nm to 100 nm . At this scale, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties that differ significantly ...
