 The mechanics of evolving small structures. Examples include self-assembled quantum dots, monolayer island arrays, and electromigration. The study follows the conceptual flow from atomic processes, to mesoscopic phenomena, and to engineering implications. 

 

   [### Linear Algebra - Notes

 Being linear within a set defines a vector space. Being linear between sets defines a linear map. A vector itself is a linear map. A linear map is an element of a new vector space. We map the new vector space to some other vector spaces—that is, we map the maps. So goes the...
