Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology Over the past decade plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of extensive research owing to their remarkable optical properties. These properties arise from a collective oscillation of the conductive electrons at the nanoparticle surface under light irradiation known as localized surface plasmon (LSP). LSP is characterized by (i) a strong absorption and scattering of the light depending on the geometrical parameters of the nanoparticles and (ii) a strong amplification of the local field in the vicinity of the nanoparticles. Quite recently it was shown that the activation and the initiation of chemical reactions or physical processes can be facilitated using LSP excitation. Such exploitation presents two main advantages: an enhanced yield and a fine control of chemical reactions at the nanoscale. These topics have become very active and are in line with molecular plasmonics. This book explores this new field and provides a broad view on the exploitation of plasmonics in chemical and biological fields. | Plasmonics in Chemistry and Biology GBP 116.00 1

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods Nanotechnology has the potential to change every part of our lives. Today nanotechnology-based products are used in many areas and one of the most important areas is drug delivery. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems not only provide controlled delivery of drugs and improved drug solubility but also improve drug efficiency and reduce side effects via targeting mechanisms. However compared with conventional drug delivery systems few nanoparticle-based products are on the market and almost all are nontargeted or only passively targeted systems. In addition obtaining targeted nanoparticle systems is quite complex and requires several evaluation mechanisms. This book discusses the production characterization regulation and currently marketed targeted nanoparticle systems in a broad framework. It provides an overview of targeted nanoparticles’ (i) in vitro characterization such as particle size stability ligand density and type; (ii) in vivo behavior for different targeting areas such as tumor brain and vagina; and (iii) current advances in this field including clinical trials and regulation processes. | Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods GBP 385.00 1

From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime The announcement in 2012 that the Higgs boson had been discovered was understood as a watershed moment for the Standard Model of particle physics. It was deemed a triumphant event in the reductionist quest that had begun centuries ago with the ancient Greek natural philosophers. Physicists basked in the satisfaction of explaining to the world that the ultimate cause of mass in our universe had been unveiled at CERN Switzerland. The Standard Model of particle physics is now understood by many to have arrived at a satisfactory description of entities and interactions on the smallest physical scales: elementary quarks leptons and intermediary gauge bosons residing within a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. Throughout the historical journey of reductionist physics mathematics has played an increasingly dominant role. Indeed abstract mathematics has now become indispensable in guiding our discovery of the physical world. Elementary particles are endowed with abstract existence in accordance with their appearance in complicated equations. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle originally intended to estimate practical measurement uncertainties now bequeaths a numerical fuzziness to the structure of reality. Particle physicists have borrowed effective mathematical tools originally invented and employed by condensed matter physicists to approximate the complex structures and dynamics of solids and liquids and bestowed on them the authority to define basic physical reality. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a result of these kinds of strategies used by particle physicists to take the latest steps on the reductionist quest. This book offers a constructive critique of the modern orthodoxy into which all aspiring young physicists are now trained that the ever-evolving mathematical models of modern physics are leading us toward a truer understanding of the real physical world. The authors propose that among modern physicists physical realism has been largely replaced—in actual practice—by quasirealism a problematic philosophical approach that interprets the statements of abstract effective mathematical models as providing direct information about reality. History may judge that physics in the twentieth century despite its seeming successes involved a profound deviation from the historical reductionist voyage to fathom the mysteries of the physical universe. | From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime GBP 76.99 1

Electrophosphorescent Materials and Devices Organic LEDs (OLEDs) in mobile displays have been in large-scale production for over a decade and OLED-based televisions are rapidly gaining traction in the marketplace. OLEDs are on the verge of entering the solid-state lighting market in a big way. The OLED technology gives higher color purity and is more efficient than any of the competing technologies. When produced at scale OLEDs are also economical. A key limitation in the development of OLEDs was the efficient conversion of all of the electrical energy put into the device into light. Until the late 1990s the maximum efficiency of OLEDs was limited to 25% (photons/electrons) but this limitation was removed and OLEDs with 100% efficiency were reported in the early 2000s. This advance in OLED technology was driven by the author of this book. He and his collaborators developed electrophosphorescence which is essential in reaching the 100% efficiency that is now commonplace in commercial devices. | Electrophosphorescent Materials and Devices GBP 193.00 1
Oxide Spintronics Oxide materials have been used in mainstream semiconductor technology for several decades and have served as important components such as gate insulators or capacitors in integrated circuits. However in recent decades this material class has emerged in its own right as a potential contender for alternative technologies generally designated as ‘beyond Moore’.
