Characterization of Nanophase Materials

May 24, 2010 by · 1 Comment 

Product Description
Engineering of nanophase materials and devices is of vital interest in electronics, semiconductors and optics, catalysis, ceramics and magnetism. Research associated with nanoparticles has widely spread and diffused into every field of scientific research, forming a trend of nanocrystal engineered materials.
The unique properties of nanophase materials are entirely determined by their atomic scale structures, particularly the structures of interfaces and surfaces. Development of nanotechnology involves several steps, of which characterization of nanoparticles is indespensable to understand the behavior and properties of nanoparticles, aiming at implementing nanotechnolgy, controlling their behavior and designing new nanomaterials systems with super performance.
The book will focus on structural and property characterization of nanocrystals and their assemblies, with an emphasis on basic physical approach, detailed techniques, data interpretation and applications.
Intended readers of this comprehensive reference work are advanced graduate students and researchers in the field, who are specialized in materials chemistry, materials physics and materials science.

Concepts of Nanochemistry

April 30, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Product Description
Authored by a rising star in the field and one of its pioneers, this textbook is ideal for interdisciplinary courses — bridging chemistry, materials science, physics and biology. Adopting a completely new and visionary approach, this is a unique learning tool, focusing on just six concepts crucial for understanding nanochemistry: surface, size, shape, self-assembly, defects and the interface of biology and nanochemistry. These concepts are elucidated through the analysis of six materials representing the real life application of the nanochemistry concepts. The teaching questions included provide real “food for thought”, thus training students to think as a researcher does and so develop problem-solving skills.

 ”…In condensing the massive, diverse, and seemingly unrelated fields of nanochemistry…they [the authors] have once again produced a coherent manual that fully embraces nanochemistry in all its guises, and, in the process, have have created ingenuous ways to connect and relate important concepts in this field.  This book will no doubt become a favorite for teachers who want to introduce students to various concepts and approaches of nanochemistry, and will allow a student to get a clear picture of the entire field of nanochemistry from one source…” – Matthew Rycenga and Prof. Younan Xia, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Washington University, St. Louis (USA)
