E-grāmata: Self-Assembled Nanostructures

Aiming to systematically cover assembly and synthesis, characterization, and applications, a team of editors from American academic institutions and Sandia National Laboratories survey the basic physics and chemistry of nanomaterial based architectures or self-assembled systems. Natural and artificial self-assembled structures are discussed. Chapters discuss synthetic methods for making nanocrystals, the structure and chemical functionality of nanoachitectures, lithiography-engineered nanoarchitecture and nanofabrication, optical and dynamic properties, and electrochemical and transport properties.

Nanostructures refer to materials that have relevant dimensions on the nanometer length scales and reside in the mesoscopic regime between isolated atoms and molecules in bulk matter. These materials have unique physical properties that are distinctly different from bulk materials. Self-Assembled Nanostructures provides systematic coverage of basic nanomaterials science including materials assembly and synthesis, characterization, and application. Suitable for both beginners and experts, it balances the chemistry aspects of nanomaterials with physical principles. It also highlights nanomaterial-based architectures including assembled or self-assembled systems. Filled with in-depth discussion of important applications of nano-architectures as well as potential applications ranging from physical to chemical and biological systems, Self-Assembled Nanostructures is the essential reference or text for scientists involved with nanostructures.
