Today¿s science and technology moves at a breakneck speed making it difficult for newcomers to determine what research challenges and opportunities exist for them. In this regard, this volume begins with a bird¿s eye view of recent advances to provide breadth; followed with detailed discussion of selected topics to provide depth. (by Apparao M. Rao, R. A. Bowen Professor of Physics, Clemson University.) This volume presents an interesting and eclectic volume presenting interesting research from a broadswath of applied physics and materials science. From the insightful update on nanotechnology research to the chapters on sustainable energy and environmental ecology, there is sure to be something of interest to everyone. (by Vince Rotello, Charles A. Goessmann Professor of Chemistry, University Distinguished Professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.) I believe that this book offers broad examples of recent developments in nanotechnology research and an excellent introduction to nanoelectronics, nanomaterial applications, and bionanocomposites. (Jianbin Luo, State Key Laboratory of Tribology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.)

Topological insulator is one of the hottest research topics in solid state physics. This is the first book to describe the vibrational spectroscopies and electrical transport of topological insulator Bi2Se3, one of the most exciting areas of research in condensed matter physics. In particular, attempts have been made to summarize and develop the various theories and new experimental techniques developed over years from the studies of Raman scattering, infrared spectroscopy and electrical transport of topological insulator Bi2Se3. It is intended for material and physics researchers and graduate students doing research in the field of optical and electrical properties of topological insulators, providing them the physical understanding and mathematical tools needed to engage research in this quickly growing field. Some key topics in the emerging field of topological insulators are introduced.
