Opis

Nanomaterials are materials with a characteristic length scale (particle diameter, grain size) of less than 100 nanometers. The use of nanoparticles aims to take advantage of their better or even different properties as compared to bulk behaviour (confinement effect, larger surface area to volume ratio). At first nanomaterials were used as catalysts and pigments, but now their mechanical, optical, electric and biological properties of silicon based nanostructures at all stages of the process, from the synthesis of nanopowders to the final material.

Recenzje

"[A] very detailed, comprehensive review of the synthesis, structural characterization, and mechanical properties of laser-synthesized silicon-based nanocomposites. … A strong point of the text is that the uniformity of the preparation and characterization techniques employed provide a means of independently studying the effects of preparation conditions. … Strengths of the text include the expertise of the contributing authors, the high quality of the research, and the extensive reference lists provided with each chapter."
- MRS Bulletin, Vol. 30, January 2005

"[T]he book does an admirable job of covering all relevant information at a level accessible to readers with some general background in solid state physics. … [T]he book surveys an important class of materials, including their preparation, characterization, and physical properties. … [It] provides a solid foundation … .
