The most comprehensive reference on fluorescent nanodiamond
physical and chemical properties and contemporary applications
Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have drawn a great deal of
attention over the past several years, and their applications and
development potential are proving to be manifold and vast. The
first and only book of its kind, Fluorescent Nanodiamonds is a
comprehensive guide to the basic science and technical information
needed to fully understand the fundamentals of FNDs and their
potential applications across an array of domains. In demonstrating
the importance of FNDs in biological applications, the authors
bring together all relevant chemistry, physics, materials science
and biology. Nanodiamonds are produced by powerful cataclysmic
events such as explosions, volcanic eruptions and meteorite
impacts. They also can be created in the lab by high-pressure
high-temperature treatment of graphite or detonating an explosive
in a reactor vessel. A single imperfection can give a nanodiamond a
specific, isolated color center which allows it to function as a
single, trapped atom. Much smaller than the thickness of a human
hair, a nanodiamond can have a huge surface area that allows it to
bond with a variety of other materials. Because of their
non-toxicity, nanodiamonds may be useful in biomedical
applications, such as drug delivery and gene therapy. The most
comprehensive reference on a topic of rapidly increasing interest
among academic and industrial researchers across an array of fields
Includes numerous case studies and practical examples from many
areas of research and industrial applications, as well as
fascinating and instructive historical perspectives Each chapter
addresses, in-depth, a single integral topic including the
fundamental properties, synthesis, mechanisms and functionalisation
of FNDs The first book published by the key patent holder with his
research group in the field of FNDs Fluorescent Nanodiamonds is an
important working resource for a broad range of scientists and
engineers in industry and academia. It will also be a welcome
reference for instructors in chemistry, physics, materials science,
biology and related fields.
