Through advanced characterization and new fabrication techniques, nanostructured materials have become a central focus of investigation in materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Nanomaterials with a range of of morphologies and compositions have been shown to display vari ed functionality in areas such as electronic structure, optical effects, and spin dynamics. This book presents a detailed overview of recent research developments on functional nanomaterials, including synthesis, characterization, and applications. A series of chapters provides state-of-the-art information on oxide nanoparticles, metal nanostructures, semiconductor nanocrystals, and polymer nanocomposites. Covers functional nanomaterials from synthesis to advanced fabrication methods to applications Multidisciplinary in scope and international in authorship Practical reference for anyone working in, or intending to enter the field of, functional nanomaterials INDICE: Fabrication of oxide nanoparticles by ion implantation and thermaloxidation.- Design of solution-grown ZnO nanostructures.- Self-assembled metal nanostructures in semiconductor structures.- Nanocrystal based polymer composites as novel functional materials.- Large-scale ab initio study of size, shape, and doping effects on electronic structure of nanocrystals.- Hydrogen concentration, bonding configuration and electron emission properties of polycrystalline diamond films: from micro- to nano-metric grain size.- Super-resolutionoptical effects of nanoscale nonlinear thin film structure and ultrahigh density information storage.- Spin-transfer and current-induced spin dynamics in spin valves: diffusive transport regime.- Self-organized surface nanopatterningby ion beam sputtering.- Area-selective depositions of self-assembled monolayers on patterned SiO2/Si surfaces.- Virtual synthesis of electronic nanomaterials: fundamentals and prospects.
