Nanotechnology utilizes the unique physical properties of atoms, molecules, and other things measuring roughly 0.1–1000 nm. Nanotechnology may enable us to overcome limitations below our physical size limits. Nanotechnology converges many sciences and technologies at the nanometer scale, which requires applying various scientific principles to synthesis, design and analysis. The multidisciplinary nature of nanotechnology has the inherent challenge of teaching students with backgrounds in different knowledge domains. The publication addresses the scientific underpinnings of nanotechnology to provide an understanding of various phenomena observed at the nanoscale. The role of physics, materials, mechanics and electronics will be emphasized with some basic engineering science ideas applied at the nanoscale.
Introduction to Nanotechnology and Quantum Phenomena begins with What and Why Nanotechnology, Chapter 1, to answer your first questions about what nanotechnology is. Next, we discuss Scaling Laws in Chapter 2. Then we dive into nanotechnology topics, including "Foundations of Quantum Phenomenal" (Chapter 3), Nanomaterials (Chapter 4), Nanomechanics (Chapter 5), Nanoelectronics (Chapter 6), Heat Transfer at Nanoscale (Chapter 7), and Nano-Optics (Chapter 8), providing the fundamental differences between macroscale and nanoscale phenomena using applications to learn critical concepts.
By the conclusion of reading Introduction to Nanotechnology and Quantum Phenomena, students will understand the basic principles of physics and materials at the nanoscale and the challenges and limitations in realizing nanoscale structures and devices. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of scientific issues that distinguish nanoscale phenomena from those at the macroscopic scale and how nanoscale phenomena can be harnessed to create nanoengineered materials or structures.
Dr. E. H. Yang is a Professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stevens Institute of Technology. Dr. Yang received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Ajou University in Korea. After postdoctoral work at the University of Tokyo and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), he began his tenure as a Senior Member of the Engineering Staff at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Dr. Yang led several projects funded by NASA, DARPA, and NRO before joining Stevens in 2006. At JPL, he managed and monitored several NASA SBIR projects and participated in the review committee for developing NASA's Multi-Object Spectrometer for the James Webb Space Telescope. He secured over forty federal grants and contracts totaling approximately $11M, including the NSF, AFOSR, NRO, and US Army funding. He is an AE/EB of Scientific Reports, Micromachines, and IEEE Sensors Journal. Dr. Yang has published over three hundred fifty journal and conference papers and has been invited to give over a hundred keynote/invited talks at conferences, workshops, and university seminars. He was a featured Track Plenary Speaker at ASME IMECE in 2018. He was awarded, among other honors, the Lew Allen Award for Excellence at JPL in 2003, the Award for Research Excellence at Stevens in 2019, and the IEEE Technical Achievement Award (Advanced Career) from the IEEE Sensors Council in 2020. He is an IEEE Sensors Council Distinguished Lecturer (2023-2025) and IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) Chapter Chair (North Jersey Section). Dr. Yang is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He received a Master of Engineering, Honoris Causa, from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2023.
