Description
Summary:An introduction to the science of nanoparticles, from fundamental principles to their use in novel applications. As a basis for understanding nanoparticle behavior, the book first outlines the principles of quantum size behavior, nanoparticle architecture, formation of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. It then goes on to describe the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles with defined characteristics, their structural, electrical and magnetic properties, as well as current methods to monitor these properties. Among other the following nanoparticle applications are discussed: single-electron devices; Ultra dense recording media; Bioelectronic devices and sensors; Labeling or proteins, nucleic acids and othe biomaterials.
