"Today, the fascinating story of colloidal quantum dots has no series finale yet. Instead, there continue to be advancements in our understanding of the fundamental properties of these nanocrystals, each of these advancements catalyzing a spin-off into a new journey toward potential applications. These remarkable advancements include improving the synthesis techniques, characterizing nanocrystals at the single-particle level, and tailoring their properties for specific applications. The quantum-confined colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals field has witnessed a remarkable convergence of nanoscience, materials chemistry, and spectroscopy, resulting in unprecedented control over their properties. With ongoing research efforts, the potential of semiconductor nanocrystals continues to unfold. Scientists are exploring new materials, developing scalable synthesis methods, and pushing the boundaries of their applications in fields such as quantum computing, energy storage, and biological sensing. The authors take the reader into quantum confinement and quantum dots. While the contents of this primer are rather expansive, they merely scratch the surface of the complex voyage that quantum dot sciences have undergone. The authors have identified vital terminology, valuable concepts, techniques, and applications."-- Provided by publisher.

"Time dependent energy conservation in a control volume refers to a fascinating and challenging portion of heat transfer called unsteady state or transient heat transfer. Energy conservation in first law of thermodynamics states that heat inflow into a control volume, plus the heat generated in a control volume, minus heat outflow from a control volume equals to change in internal energy of a control volume. Energy conservation differential equations for transient heat transfer in cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates have been determined in numerous heat transfer text books such as References 10 and 15 and also presented in the Appendix of this book. This book investigates twenty-four transient heat transfer problems in our everyday lives. I chose wide variety of simple and every-day life problems in order to give readers insight into different approaches to a solution in transient heat transfer. Sensitivities of dependent variables to governing independent variables are investigated under appropriate physical conditions"-- Provided by publisher.

"Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are cylindrical one-dimensional nanomaterials made of single-layered graphene sheets. They possess unique properties because of their specific structure. Due to their distinct electronic structure and impressive thermal, mechanical, and optical properties, SWCNTs have great applications in biomedicine, energy storage, nanomechanical devices, etc. So far, many methods have been developed to synthesize SWCNTs. Despite the great achievements in the synthesis and applications of SWCNTs in the past few decades, many challenges remain. This primer will equip the reader with a foundational understanding of the growth mechanisms of SWCNTs and the advantages and disadvantages of the process and growth conditions of the various techniques. The reader will also learn how to relate the properties and structure of these materials to their specific functionality in the desired application."-- Provided by publisher.

This book presents the theory of plates and shells on the basis of the three-dimensional parent theory. The authors explore the thinness of the structure to represent the mechanics of the actual thin three-dimensional body under consideration by a more tractable two-dimensional theory associated with an interior surface. In this way, the relatively complex three-dimensional continuum mechanics of the thin body is replaced by a far more tractable two-dimensional theory. To ensure that the resulting model is predictive, it is necessary to compensate for this dimension reduction by assigning additional kinematical and dynamical descriptors to the surface whose deformations are modelled by the simpler two-dimensional theory. The authors avoid the various ad hoc assumptions made in the historical development of the subject, most notably the classical KirchhoffLove hypothesis requiring that material lines initially normal to the shell surface remain so after deformation. Instead, such conditions, when appropriate, are here derived rather than postulated. .
