Overview

An extensive body of research is involved in pushing miniaturization to its physical limit, encompassing the miniaturization of electronic devices, the manipulation of single atoms by scanning tunnelling microscopy, bio-engineering, the chemical synthesis of complex molecules, microsensor technology, and information storage and retrieval. In parallel to these practical aspects of miniaturization there is also the necessity to understand the physics of small structures. This book brings together a number of leading articles from a variety of fields, with the common aim of ultimate miniaturization and measurement.
