NANOCRYSTALS – SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATIONS

This book provides an overview of the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystals. Nanocrystals, owing to their unique behavior with reduction in size, have been a significant part of the novel materials developed for applications such as biosensors, optics, catalysts to semiconductor devices. Over the years, various synthesis methods are discovered to develop nanostructures with tunable properties such as optical, electronic magnetic and mechanical properties. The chapters in this book cover a broad range of properties of nanocrystals synthesized for various applications....
