Kurzbeschreibung
Die Verfügbarkeit von Nanopartikeln mit definierter Struktur und gewünschten Eigenschaften ist eine der wichtigsten Grundlagen der weiteren Entwicklung der Nanotechnologie. Das vorliegende, für einen breiten Leserkreis konzipierte Buch beschreibt zunächst, wovon der Aufbau von Nanopartikeln abhängt (Clusterbildung, Phasenübergänge). Anschließend werden Details der chemischen Synthese sowie der Messung elektrischer und magnetischer Merkmale behandelt. Vielfältige interessante Anwendungsbeispiele (unter anderem ultradichte Aufzeichnungsmaterialien, bioelektronische Bauelemente und Sensoren) runden den Band ab.

An introduction to the science of nanoparticles, from fundamental principles to their use in novel applications.
As a basis for understanding nanoparticle behavior, the book first outlines the principles of quantum size behavior, nanoparticles architecture, formation of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. It then goes on to describe the chemical syntheses of nanoparticles with defined characteristics, their structural, electrical and magnetic properties, as well as current methods to monitor these properties.
Among others, the following nanoparticle-based applications are discussed:
* Single-electron devices
* Ultra dense recording media
* Bioelectronic devices and sensors
* Labeling of proteins, nucleic acids and other biomaterials.
With its clear structure and comprehensive coverage, backed by numerous examples from the recent literature, this is a prime reference for chemists and materials scientists working with and developing nanoparticle systems.

"... Nanoparticles by Günter Schmid is a comprehensive compendium on the theory and synthesis of semiconductor, metal and magnetic nanoparticles. It appears that much effort was put in by the editor and authors to make this book useful both to students and to group leaders pursuing research in the nanoparticle field. ... I believe this book is timely and should find a wide audience of readers interested in the fundamentals of nanoparticle technology."
