The numerous applications of ultrashort laser pulses represents a rapidly growing topic of modern science. This book describes the present state of the art in this field, including investigations into solid state physics and recent progress in optoelectronics.

This volume treats new materials (nanotubes and quantum dots) and new techniques (synchrotron radiation scattering and cavity confined scattering). In the past five years, Raman and Brillouin scattering have taken a place among the most important research and characterization methods for carbon nanotubes.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications, this second volume focuses on those areas that have grown rapidly in the past few years.

Here is a discussion of the state of the art of spin resonance in low dimensional structures, such as two-dimensional electron systems, quantum wires, and quantum dots. Leading scientists report on recent advances and discuss open issues and perspectives.

Materials science is the prime example of an interdisciplinary science. Materials science advances have underpinned the technology revolution that has driven societal changes for the last ?fty years. In every case proposed solutions begin with new forms of materials, materials processing or new arti?cial material structures.

Heat transfer laws for conduction, radiation and convection change when the dimensions of the systems in question shrink. These are clearly explained and exemplified by a large spectrum of relevant physical models, while the most advanced nanoscale thermal metrologies are presented.

This book describes the synthesis, characterization and applications of inorganic and metallic nanotubular materials. It covers a wide variety of nanotubular materials excluding carbon nanotubes, and explains their potential for future technologies.

This book focuses on new research fields of diamond, from its growth to applications. It covers growth of atomically flat diamond films, properties and applications of diamond nanoparticles, diamond nanoparticles based electrodes and their applications for energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, CO2 conversion etc.).

In answering this question resolutely in the affirmative, I will also take the liberty to comment a bit on what makes the effort worthwhile to both the perpetrator(s) of the computational study (hereafter I will use the blanket terms modeler and model for both engineering and chemical physics contexts) and to the rest of the world.

Using combinations of in situ and ex situ experimental methods, fundamental and relevant phenomena such as adsorption and desorption of ions and molecules, restructuring of surfaces, thin film and nanocluster growth, and electrochemical reactions on the micrometer scale are addressed.
