Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2003 | ISBN-10: 3540001875 | ISBN-13: 978-3540001874 | Edition: 1

Written by experts in the field, this book describes advanced techniques for the chemical synthesis of functional organic nanoparticles and proposes new characterization and manipulation methods for single nanoparticles. Theoretical and experimental studies of the physical and chemical properties of organic particles, semiconductor particles and liquid droplets are reported. The text gives not only scientific details but also discusses the general and historical background, applications, and future perspectives. A clear interpretation of technical terms and concepts is included where necessary. The material for the book originates from the research activities of the collaboration project "Laser Chemistry of Single Organic Nanometer Particles" supported by the Ministry of Education, Science Sports and Culture of Japan. It is written primarily for graduate students, researchers and engineers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"As with the other books in the series, "Single Organic Nanoparticles’ is aimed at the specialist reader … . It provides a thorough and timely overview of the synthesis, characterisation, properties and applications of nanoscale organic particles but also has much to offer a broader range of readers … . In summary, this is an important and useful text for graduate students and researchers interested in the optical properties of nanoparticles. It has much to offer those interested in both organic and inorganic nanoparticles." (R. G. Elliman, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (2), 2004)

"The operative word in the title of this fascinating book is single. Indeed the preparation, manipulation, and spectroscopic and microscopic properties of single parties is the main thrust of most of the chapters of this book. … the publishers have produced a durable book that is well bound, nicely typeset, and beautifully illustrated with many useful line drawings and well-reproduced photographs. As such it is highly recommended to the reader who wants an in-depth introduction to the fascinating study of nanoparticles – one-at-a-time." (Gary J. Long, Fernande Grandjean, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)
