In the last few years, several "bottom-up" and "top-down" synthesis
routes have been developed to produce tailored hybrid nanoparticles
(HNPs). This book provides a new insight into one of the most
promising "bottom-up" techniques, based on a practical
magnetron-sputtering inert-gas-condensation method. A modified
magnetron-sputtering-based inert-gas-condensation (MS-IGC) system
is presented, and its performances under different conditions are
evaluated. Designed for graduate students, researchers in physics,
materials science, biophysics and related fields, and process
engineers, this new resource fills a critical need to understand
the fundamentals behind the design and tailoring of the
nanoparticles produced by the MS-IGC method. It shows that the
morphology, the size and the properties of the nanoparticles can be
modulated by tuning the deposition parameters such as the energy,
the cooling rate, and the collision and coalescence processes
experienced by the nanoparticles during their formation. The
mechanisms of formation of different HNPs are suggested, combining
the physico-chemical properties of the materials with the
experimental conditions. This book illustrates the potential of
MS-IGC method to synthesize multifunctional nanoparticles and
nanocomposites with accurate control on their morphology and
structure. However, for a better understanding of HNPs formation,
further improvements in characterization methods of aggregation
zone conditions are needed. In addition, the optimization of the
yield and harvesting process of HNPs is essential to make this
method sufficiently attractive for large-scale production.
Nanomaterials and nanostructures are the original product of
nanotechnology, and the key building blocks for enabling
technologies. In this context, this book presents a concise
overview of the synthesis and characterization methods of
nanomaterials and nanostructures, while integrating facets of
physics, chemistry, and engineering. The book summarizes the
fundamentals and technical approaches in synthesis, and processing
of nanostructures and nanomaterials, so as the reader can have a
systematic and quick picture of the field. This book focuses on
functional aspects of nanomaterials that have a high relevance to
immediate applications, such as catalysis, energy harvesting,
biosensing, and surface functionalization. There are chapters
addressing nanostructured materials and composites and covering
basic properties and requirements of this new class of engineered
materials.

Nanostructured Thin Films: Fundamentals and Applications presents
an overview of the synthesis and characterization of thin films and
their nanocomposites. Both vapor phase and liquid phase approaches
are discussed, along with the methods that are sufficiently
attractive for large-scale production. Examples of applications in
clean energy, sensors, biomedicine, anticorrosion and surface
modification are also included. As the applications of thin films
in nanomedicine, cell phones, solar cell-powered devices, and in
the protection of structural materials continues to grow, this book
presents an important research reference for anyone seeking an
informed overview on their structure and applications.
