Abstract

Nowadays, miniaturization is a general challenge for technology. Researchers in science andtechnology claim to study ever smaller systems and develop ever smaller devices. Thenanometric range is, at present, an important focus of attention of scientists and engineersfollowing the famous prediction by Prof. Feynman: “There’s plenty of room at the bottom”.Reduction of dimensions, at this level, involves that more specific and more complex toolsare needed.
