Description
In recent years there have been great advances in the development of new nanomaterials. To facilitate the progress of new materials it is essential to understand the underlying principles at the nanoscale.
Nanoscopic Materials provides an accessible overview of the physico-chemical and physical principles of nanomaterials including electronic structure, magnetic properties, thermodynamics of size dependence and phase transitions and dynamics of clusters and two-dimensional systems. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect recent developments in new nanomaterials including graphene and core-shell structures, properties of nano-structured and intelligent surfaces as well as applications in catalysis and energy. Additional chapters cover the development of nucleation and crystal shape engineering; self-assembly and biomimetics for fabricating nanostructures.
With helpful illustrations and summaries of key points in every chapter, this advanced textbook is ideal for graduate students of chemistry and materials science and researchers new to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Reviews / Votes
Lots of helpful illustrations and some of them in full colour....each of the eleven chapters includes a summary box at the end where the 'key points' are reiterated in clear and concise language, complete with bullet points.A timely reminder of how much every-thing we think we know about matter can change when the packaging unit of that matter becomes very small. This book provides an overview of the size-related changes that underlie much of the current interest in nanoscience. Excellent as an introductory text to inorganic nanoscopic materials.......a very useful primer on inorganic nanoscopic materials.More details
