Springer Science+Business Media, 2009, 483 pages
Through advanced characterization and new fabrication techniques, nanostructured materials have become a central focus of investigation in materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Nanomaterials with a range of morphologies and compositions have been shown to display varied functionality in areas such as electronic structure, optical effects, and spin dynamics. This book presents a detailed overview of recent research developments on functional nanomaterials, including synthesis, characterization, and applications. A series of chapters provides state-of-the-art information on oxide nanoparticles, metal nanostructures, semiconductor nanocrystals, and polymer nanocomposites.
Fabrication of Oxide Nanoparticles by Ion Implantation and Thermal Oxidation
Design of Solution-Grown ZnO Nanostructures
Self-Assembled Metal Nanostructures in Semiconductor Structures
Nanocrystal-Based Polymer Composites as Novel Functional Materials
Large-Scale Ab Initio Study of Size, Shape, and Doping Effects on Electronic Structure of Nanocrystals
