Physics, Chemistry and Applications of Nanostructures ― Reviews and Short Notes - Proceedings of the International Conference Nanomeeting - 2011, Minsk, Berlarus, 24-27 May 2011

The 144 selected papers in this collection review recent research into the physics of nanostructures, nanoelectromagnetics, the chemistry of nanostructures, nanotechnology, nanostructure based devices, and frontiers of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials in energy conversion. Among specific topics are geometrical models for bare boron nanotubes, the synchrotron investigation of a silicon surface after low energy plasma treatment in hydrogen and argon, the precise determination of the atomic structure of a nanotube by electron diffraction, the scattering of the electromagnetic field by a dielectric nanotube covered by a thin metal layer, nanoporous titania electrochemically formed at low temperature, evaluating the morphofunctional state of platelets by scanning force microscopy, and thin film layers and multilayer nanostructures for photovoltaic applications.
