Functional metal oxide nanostructures

Metal oxides and particularly their nanostructures have emerged as animportant class of materials with a rich spectrum of properties and greatpotential fordevice applications. In this book, contributions from leadingexperts emphasize basic physical properties, synthesis and processing, and thelatest applications in such areas as energy, catalysis and data storage. Functional Metal Oxide Nanostructures is an essential reference for any materials scientist or engineer with aninterest in metal oxides, and particularly in recent progress in defectphysics, strain effects, solution-based synthesis, ionic conduction, andtheirapplications. Addresses a hot area of electronic and magnetic materials. Covers basic properties, synthesis, processing, and applications. Focuses on nanoscale aspects of metal oxides. Presents both recently developed theories and state-of-the-art applications. INDICE: Preface. 1. New Opportunities on Phase Transitions of Correlated Electron Nanostructures. 2.
