Metallic and Molecular Interactions in Nanometer Layers, Pores and Particles: New Findings at the Yoctolitre Level (Nanoscience, Volume 10)

"Metallic and Molecular Interactions in Nanometer Layers, Pores and Particles: New Findings at the Yoctolitre Level describes new developments in the nanochemistry of almost all elements of the periodic system, primarily for the years from 2006-2008." "The main benefit of this book is the actualization of the interest in the elements of the periodic system. Important qualities of ultrathin assemblies, which are not common knowledge to chemists, including magnetism, luminescence, conductivity, thermoelectricity and density functional theory are explained in an introductory chapter. Carbon yocotwells and iron nanoparticles are covered in separate chapters. Other elements are discussed, mostly in connection with interesting new nanocrystal and nanowire phenomena and the packing of molecules and atoms within yoctowells - containers with the volume of a few cubic nanometres."

Nanochemistry offers the unique chance to work with almost all the elements of the periodic system to try to solve problems with new materials in architecture, medicine and electronics. This book draws together the published material on nanochemistry from 2005-2008, choosing each important element of the periodic table, summarising relevant general properties and then detailing the findings. Coverage is aimed at materials researchers and the authors intend to bring the reader up-to-date with information which could alter the use of materials in an industry setting.
