Nanotechnology Volume 1: Principles and Fundamentals

"This book would be useful to those interested in learning about the strategies used to create new nanodevices, the fundamentals of nanotechnology, and ethics of the field." ( IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine , May/June 2009)
"This book should be definitely recommended to those who want to understand the basic fundamentals of nanotechnology. This book can also be a good source for physics and engineering students in particular. From the college instructor point of view, this book is an excellent reference source for nanotechnology students." ( Journal of Metals , January 15, 2009)

"One of the first books which deals with the various fields in nanotechnology ... .The book address scientists, teacher/ professors and students involved in this important and advanced field of fundamental and applicative science." ( Environmental Engineering and Management Journal , November / December 2008)

Günter Schmid studied chemistry at the University of Munich, did his habilitation in Marburg before he became Professor in Essen. His research focus on the border between chemistry and physics, especially on clusters, colloids and nanoscience. After retiring he founded a company for the applications of nanoscience. He is author and editor of books and member in the editorial team of the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry. In 2003 he got the prestigious Wilhelm-Klemm award of the German Chemical Society.
