Nanostructured oxides and materials

Nanostructured oxides represent an appealing and assorted class of materials whose properties cover the entire range from metals to semiconductors to insulators and almost all aspects of material science, chemistry and physics in very broad applications. The focus of this book will be the synthesis, structural and characterization of self-assembled nanostructures of oxides with application potentials as materials, with particular consideration given to the capability to tailor and control material properties via surface and structural modifications. Furthermore, it is devoted to new nanotechnology tools and technological procedures useful for the development of developed devices integrating bottom-up and top-down technologies.
