Nanoparticles in Solids and Solutions

Nanoparticles in Solids and Solutions

Research into nanoparticles is motivated by the demand for advanced materials having superior mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, electro-optical, magnetic and electromagnetic properties. The present volume represents an integration of solid-state physical and `wet’ chemical techniques for nanoparticle synthesis. Topics covered include: biological, physical and chemical approaches to nanoparticle preparation; theories and modelling of nucleation, cluster growth, particle growth in solid and liquid states and at interfaces, characterization of particles prepared by different methods, applications as catalysts and in devices (sensors, electrical/optical and information storage), and future research directions. Audience: Students and researchers in biology, physics and chemistry interested in advanced materials synthesis and characterization.

Tunneling Systems in Amorphous and Crystalline Solids

Tunneling Systems in Amorphous and Crystalline Solids

The book contains the contributions from research scientists (experimentalists and theoreticians) who have recently made outstanding systematic investigations with low-temperature properties of solids that are sensitive to quantum tunneling processes. Low-temperature thermodynamic and acoustic properties, optical hole burning, and dielectric properties of different solids, such as amorphous dielectrics (including polymers, superconductors, polycrystalline metals, and metallic and semiconducting crystals) with light impurities (H and D) are reviewed and discussed in terms of interactions with and between tunneling systems. The newest experiments on long-time spectral diffusion and heat release, electric field and strain effects, and non-equilibrium phenomena are also discussed.

Thermal Decomposition of Solids and Melts: New Thermochemical Approach to the Mechanism, Kinetics and Methodology (Hot Topics in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry)

Thermal Decomposition of Solids and Melts: New Thermochemical Approach to the Mechanism, Kinetics and Methodology (Hot Topics in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry)

This book covers the results of investigations into the mechanisms and kinetics of thermal decompositions of solid and liquid substances on the basis of thermochemical analyses of the processes. In the framework of the proposed ideas, the main features of these reactions are explained and many problems and unusual phenomena, which have accumulated in this field are interpreted. New methods of TA measurement and calculation have been developed, which permit the precision and accuracy of determination of kinetic parameters to be increased substantially. Reliable kinetic characteristics have been obtained and the decomposition mechanisms for several tens of substances have been interpreted. These include different classes of compounds: crystalline hydrates, oxides, hydroxides, nitrides, azides, nitrates, sulfates, carbonates and oxalates.

Low-Dimensional Solids (Inorganic Materials Series)

Low-Dimensional Solids (Inorganic Materials Series)

With physical properties that often may not be described by the transposition of physical laws from 3D space across to 2D or even 1D space, low-dimensional solids exhibit a high degree of anisotropy in the spatial distribution of their chemical bonds. This means that they can demonstrate new phenomena such as charge-density waves and can display nanoparticulate (0D), fibrous (1D) and lamellar (2D) morphologies.

Low-Dimensional Solids presents some of the most recent research into the synthesis and properties of these solids and covers:

• Metal Oxide Nanoparticles
• Inorganic Nanotubes and Nanowires
• Biomedical Applications of Layered Double Hydroxides
• Carbon Nanotubes and Related Structures
• Superconducting Borides

Introducing topics such as novel layered superconductors, inorganic-DNA delivery systems and the chemistry and physics of inorganic nanotubes and nanosheets, Low-Dimensional Solids discusses some of the most exciting concepts in this developing field.

Processing of Particulate Solids (Particle Technology Series)

Processing of Particulate Solids (Particle Technology Series)

Over half of the products of the chemical and process industries are sold in a particulate form. The range of such products is vast: from agrochemicals to pigments, from detergents to foods, from plastics to pharmaceuticals. However, surveys of the performance of processes designed to produce particulate products have consistently shown inadequate design and poor reliability. `Particle technology’ is a new subject facing new challenges. Chemical and process engineering is becoming less concerned with the design of plants to produce generic simple chemicals (which are often single phase fluids) and is now more concerned with speciality `effect’ chemicals which may often be in particulate form. Chemical and process engineers are also being recruited in increasing numbers into areas outside their tranditional fields, such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals and the manufacture of a wide variety of consumer products. This book has been written to meet their needs. It provides comprehensive coverage of the technology of particulate solids, in a form which is both accessible and concise enough to be useful to engineering and science students in the final year of an undergraduate degree, and at Master’s level. Although it was written with students of chemical engineering in mind, it will also be of use and interest to students of other disciplines. It comprises an account of the fundamentals of teh subject, illustrated by worked examples, and followed by a wide range of selected applications.
