The techniques and methods that can be applied to materials
characterization on the microscale are numerous and
well-established. Divided into two parts, Characterization of
Nanostructures provides thumbnail sketches of the most widely used
techniques and methods that apply to nanostructures, and discusses
typical applications to single nanoscale objects, as well as to
ensembles of such objects.
Section I: Techniques and Methods overviews the physical
principles of the main techniques and describes those operational
modes that are most relevant to nanoscale characterization. It
provides sufficient technical detail so that readers and
prospective users can gain an appreciation of the strengths and
limitations of particular techniques. The section covers both
mainstream and less commonly used techniques.
Section II: Applications of Techniques to Structures of
Different Dimensionalities and Functionalities deals with the
methods for materials characterization of generic types of systems,
using carefully chosen illustrations from the literature. Each
chapter begins with a brief description of the materials and
supplies a context for the methods for characterization. The volume
concludes with a series of flow charts and brief descriptions of
tactical issues.
The authors focus on the needs of the research laboratory but
also address those of quality control, industrial troubleshooting,
and online analysis. Characterization of Nanostructures describes
those techniques and their operational modes that are most relevant
to nanoscale characterization. It is especially relevant to systems
of different dimensionalities and functionalities. The book builds
a bridge between generalists, who play vital roles in the
post-disciplinary area of nanotechnology, and specialists, who view
themselves as more in the context of the discipline.
