Analysis,manipulation,and simulation on the nanoscale

摘要

Research and development on the nanoscale has evolved to a wide-ranging and highly competitive field of research bridging the classical disciplines in molecule-based natural sciences,i.e.chemistry,physics,and biology.For the progress made in this area the development of tools that allow analysis and manipulation on an almost atomic level has been essential.The invention of scanning tunneling microscopy and subsequently a variety of other scanning probe techniques together with advances in high resolution electron microscopy
