- Summary:
- The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are now growing very rapidly. The properties of nanostructures are different to those of the bulk material, due to the high surface area to volume ratio and possible appearance of quantum effects at the nanoscale. The study of size and shape effects upon material properties has therefore attracted enormous attention. This book describes the size effect upon thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical and mechanical properties. It provides a clear overview of size as being a new parameter that permits the tuning of material properties. The book is divided
