This Briefs volume describes the properties and structure of elementary excitations in isotope low-dimensional structures. Without assuming prior knowledge of quantum physics, the present book provides the basic knowledge needed to understand the recent developments in the sub-disciplines of nanoscience isotopetronics, novel device concepts and materials for nanotechnology. It is the first and comprehensive interdisciplinary account of the newly developed scientific discipline isotopetronics.

Describes the influence of the isotopic composition of nano-materials on elementary excitations in isotope low-dimensional structures Presents the new sub-discipline of nanoscience isotopetronics to develop novel device concepts and materials for nanotechnology Shows the application potential of controlling the isotopic composition of nano-materials Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
