Nanostructured oxide materials - ultra-thin films, nanoparticles
and other nanometer-scale objects - play prominent roles in many
aspects of our every-day life, in nature and in technological
applications, among which is the all-oxide electronics of tomorrow.
Due to their reduced dimensions and dimensionality, they strongly
interact with their environment: gaseous atmosphere, water or
support. Their novel physical and chemical properties are the
subject of this book, from both a fundamental and an applied
perspective. Oxide Thin Films and Nanostructures reviews and
illustrates the various methodologies for their growth,
fabrication, experimental and theoretical characterization. The
role of key parameters such as film thickness, nanoparticle size
and support interactions in driving their fundamental properties is
underlined. At the ultimate thickness limit, two-dimensional oxide
materials are generated, whose functionalities and potential
applications are described. The emerging field of cation mixing is
mentioned, which opens new avenues for engineering many oxide
properties, as witnessed by natural oxide nanomaterials such as
clay minerals, which, beyond their role at the Earth's surface, are
now widely used in a whole range of human activities. Oxide
nanomaterials are involved in many interdisciplinary fields of
advanced nanotechnologies. Catalysis, photocatalysis, solar energy
materials, fuel cells, corrosion protection, and biotechnological
applications are amongst the areas where they are making an impact.
The book outlines prototypical examples. A cautious glimpse into
future developments of scientific activity is finally ventured to
round off the presentation.
