Book description
Covering all important aspects and techniques of preparation and
characterization of nanoparticles with controlled morphology and
architecture, this book provides a sound overview, from the basics right
up to recent developments. Renowned research scientists from all over
the world present our existing knowledge of the field, covering theory
and modeling, synthesis, characterization and properties of these novel
nanomaterials. By emphasizing the underlying concepts and principles in
detail, the book enables researchers to fully recognize and exploit the
application potential of complex-shaped nanoparticles, thus laying down
the state-of-the art but also inspiring further research.
Tapan K. Sau
is an associate professor at the International Institute of Information
Technology, Hyderabad, India. After his PhD in chemistry, obtained from
the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, he had worked as a
postdoctoral fellow at the University of South Carolina-Columbia and
Clarkson University, USA, and as an assistant professor at the Panjab
University in Chandigarh, India. From 2007 to 2009 he was an
Alexander-von-Humboldt Research Fellow at the
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany. His research interests
are in synthesis, spectroscopy and applications of colloidal metal
nanocrystals. He has authored over 50 publications including patents and
book chapters.
Andrey L. Rogach
is chair professor at the Department of Physics and Materials Science
of City University of Hong Kong. After his PhD in chemistry, obtained
from the Belarusian State University in Minsk, he had worked as a
research scientist at the University of Hamburg, Germany (1995-2002),
and as a lead staff scientist at the Photonics and Optoelectronics group
of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Germany (2002-2009), where
he completed his habilitation in experimental physics. His research is
focused on synthesis, assembly, optical spectroscopy and applications of
colloidal semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, which has been
extensively (over 12,000) times cited.
