Dimensional effects in nanomaterials

Nanotechnologies that allow a manipulate substance at the level of atoms and molecules and promise to largely change the life of future generations, become a leading direction of the development of society in the 21st century. Based on nanotechnologies, you can create new materials, systems and devices, which in their characteristics significantly exceed the existing level.
In the monograph, mainly on the example of nanoparticles, the manifestation of the physicochemical properties of materials associated with dimensional effects is considered. The main attention is paid to the structure, electronic structure, magnetic characteristics, catalytic and thermodynamic features. The various possibilities of applying nanotechnologies in many areas of technology, medicine, science and public life are also considered.
The book is a valuable and interesting modern manual for students, graduate students, researchers and developers specializing in nanotechnology and nanomaterials
