Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time in the history of materials science ′molecular structures′ with nanometer dimensions can be observed, manipulated, and controlled. This fascinating new field of research and technology is comprehensively covered by the present book. The collection of this volume is based on a workshop entitled ′Nanostructures Based upon Molecular Materials′. Included in the topics
presented from prominent, international researchers are: ∗ Langmuir–Blodgett technique
∗ molecular electronics
∗ design of specific molecules
∗ characterization of molecular structures (STM, photoemission spectroscopy).
Both experts and newcomers will appreciate the book as a valuable impulse for future cooperative research and development activities in the broad field of ′Nanotechnologies′.
