Track 11: Nanometrology and Instrumentation

Nanometrology is that the science of measurement at the nanoscale level. Nanometrology features a crucial role so as to supply nanomaterials and devices with a high degree of accuracy and reliability nanomanufacturing. This reference provides following further explanations: Nanometrology includes length or size measurements where dimensions are typically given in nanometres and therefore the measurement uncertainty is usually but 1nm as well as measurement of force, mass, electrical and other properties. They also pinpoint importance of nanometrology for the longer term of nanotechnologies: Nanotechnologies, however defined, cannot progress independently of progress in nanometrology.
