Overview
Since the mid-1980s there has been considerable growth in the basic research of semiconductor nanoclusters and other nanomaterials. As the field has evolved, the emphasis has shifted from the basic theoretical description to field utilization of nanostructure-based devices. The topics presented in this volume highlight salient features of nanocrystalline semiconductor materials. It includes coverage of: synthetic strategies to generate ultrasmall particles, films and wires; the characterization methodologies of a large number of nanomaterials from the molecular level to the long-range crystallogrphic ordering; theoretical descriptions of present-day quantum confinement effects in various materials ad the phenomena of charge transfer; the fate of photoinduced charge carriers in these materials and the phenomena of charge transfer across interfaces; and the utilization of these effects in analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, environmental remediation and electrochemistry. The aim of the book is to provide the necessary background material for advanced undergraduate students in the field of physical chemistry and materials science and provide a reference book for others.

Reviews
The chapters cover a broad range of topics and are well referenced. It very successfully brings together aspects of nanocluster spectoscropy and photophysics and many applications of the nanoclusters and nanocrystalline electrodes. This text is aimed at the graduate student or research scientist wishing to gain familiarity with what has become a rapidly expanding field. ...an excellent overview of the field."" --Journal of the American Chemical Society
