Springer, March 2011, Hardcover, 250 pages, 100 illus., Price: EUR107 / GBP90.00 / $149.00, ISBN 978-3-642-17480-3 http://www.springer.com/physics/atomic,+molecular,+optical+%26+plasma+ph ysics/book/978-3-642-17480-3


This book focuses on the recent progress in nanophotonics technology to be used to develop novel nano-optical devices, fabrication technology, and security systems. It begins with a review of the concept of dressed photons and applications to devices, fabrication, and systems; principles and appli- cations. Further topics include: DNA process for quantum dot chain, photon enhanced emission microscopy, near field spectroscopy of metallic nanostructure, self-organized fabrication of composite semiconductor quantum dots, formation of metallic nanostructure, and nanophotonic information systems with security. These topics are reviewed by seven leading scientists. This overview is a variable resour- ce for engineers and scientists working in the field of nanophotonics.

Springer, May 2012, Hardcover, 270 pages, Price: EUR150 / $195.00, ISBN 978-94-007-2621-5 http://www.springer.com/physics/condensed+matter+physics/book/978-94-007-2621-5


This symposium proceedings volume focuses on the synthesis, processing, characterization, and modelling of nanostructured materials and their potential use as „nanoscale building blocks“ for photon, phonon and che- mical transduction to electrical signal and vice versa for energy management. Nanoscale structures can dra- matically alter surface reaction rates and electrical transport, resulting in improvements in the processes and transduction mechanisms concerning energy storage, conversion, and generation.
