Working at the nano-scale demands an understanding of the high-precision measurement techniques that make nanotechnology possible. Richard Leach introduces these techniques to a broad audience of engineers and scientists involved in nanotechnology applications and research. He also provides a route-map and toolkit for metrologists engaging with the rigor of measurement and data analysis at the nano-scale. Starting from the fundamentals of precision measurement, the author progresses into different measurement and characterization techniques. The focus on nanometrology in engineering contexts makes this book an essential guide for the emerging nanomanufacturing / nanofabrication sector, where measurement and standardization requirements are paramount both in product specification and quality assurance. This book provides engineers and scientists with the methods and understanding needed to design and produce high-performance, long-lived products while ensuring that compliance and public health requirements are met. Updated to cover new and emerging technologies, and recent developments in standards and regulatory frameworks, this second edition includes many new sections, e.g. new technologies in scanning probe and e-beam microscopy (including DLS, NTA), recent developments in interferometry and advances in co-ordinate metrology. Demystifies nanometrology for a wide audience of engineers, scientists and students involved in nanotech applications and research. Introduces metrologists to the specific techniques and equipment involved in measuring at the nano-scale. Fully updated to cover the latest technological developments, and standards / regulations.
