Functional oxides have a wide variety of applications in the electronic industry. The discovery of new metal oxides with interesting and useful properties continues to drive much research in chemistry, physics, and materials science.
In Functional Oxides five topical areas have been selected to illustrate the importance of metal oxides in modern materials chemistry:
Noncentrosymmetric Inorganic Oxide Materials
Geometrically Frustrated Magnetic Materials
Lithium Ion Conduction in Oxides
Thermoelectric Oxides
Transition Metal Oxides -...

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.
This text presents some of the most recent research into the synthesis and properties of these solids and covers:
Metal Oxide Nanoparticles
Inorganic...
