Overview

The techniques and methods that can be applied to materials characterization on the micro-scale are ubiquitous and well-established. Providing an overview of the physical principles of various methods, this book explores how new and old techniques can be brought to bear together on the interrogation of nanotechnology systems of great current interest. The authors focus on the needs in the research laboratory but also address the needs of quality control, industrial trouble shooting, and online analysis. Describing the operational modes most relevant to nanoscale characterization, the text also offers unique content on systems of different dimensionalities and functionalities.

Reviews

This book provides an understanding of the fundamental concepts of characterisation techniques for nanomaterials such as graphene, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and quantum dots. The authors have nicely presented the complex theory of the physical techniques in a simple manner that will have immense benefit for the nanoscience community. ... This book will be a valuable asset to students and newcomers to the field. Nanoscience researchers will also benefit as it covers the theory, techniques and applications from basic to advanced levels with up to date bibliographic information. - Tapas Sen, Chemistry World, April 2013
