Highlights of the book

  • Dimension of nanoregime
  • Nanotechnology in the ancient days and nature
  • Moore's law and nanoelectronics
  • Different types of nanomaterials—0D, 1D, 2D and 3D
  • Bulk nanomaterials—nanocrystalline materials, nanocomposites, nanoporous materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), inorganic–organic hybrid nanocomposites
  • Quantum mechanics of low dimensional systems
  • Quantum confinement (QC) effect
  • Jellium model of metallic nanoclusters, magic sized nanoclusters–structural magic number vs electronic magic number
  • Electrical properties—ballistic transport, Coulomb blockade
  • Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and superparamagnetism (SPM), magnetic data storage
  • Surface properties,Wulf planes and crystallite shape
  • Mechanical properties—Hall–Petch strengthening
  • Stabilization of nanoparticles—electrostatic (DLVO theory) and polymeric (steric) stabilizations, properties of polymer solution: Good solvent, bad solvent, nonsolvent and theta state
  • Nanoparticles: Semiconductors vs metals; silicon quantum dots (SQDs); carbon dots (CDs)
  • Optical properties—fluorescent emission of semiconductor quantum dots and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectra of plasmonic metallic nanoparticles
  • Nanotechnology of colour: Photonic crystals (PCs) and structure colour, semiconductor QDs, plasmonic metallic nanoparticles
  • Core–shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) and their optical properties, gold nanoparticles (GNPs), gold nanoshells (GNSs), hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs)
  • Carbon nanoworld—fullerenes, graphenes and their synthesis, carbon nanotubes and carbon dots (CDs)
  • Synthesis of nanomaterials—vapour and solution phases; controlling of particle size distribution
  • Characterization of nanomaterials—SPM, STM, AFM, SEM, TEM, XRD and crystallite size determination (Scherrer equation), EDX (EDS),AES, EELS, XPS (ESCA), XRF, XAS – XAFS, XANES, NEXAFS and EXAFS
  • Application of nanomaterials and nanotechnology
