Metal/semiconductor containing nanocomposites. Tutorial

The training manual presents various physicochemical, electrophysical and operational properties of composite materials containing metal and semiconductor nanoparticles. The material can be conditionally divided into several blocks in which the structure of nanoparticles and their behavior are considered when exposed to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Attention is also paid to the study of biological systems and the use of nanomaterials in medicine. A number of phenomena discussed in the book are interesting not only from a scientific point of view, but also promise a noticeable practical output, and in some cases they are already effectively used on an industrial scale. In conclusion, urgent problems associated with the influence of nano -objects on the human body are considered due to the biological activity of nanoparticles due to their high penetrating ability and effective interaction with a living cell.
All issues discussed in the book are represented by highly qualified specialists actively working in different fields of nanotechnology. Along with educational and overview material, original studies of the authors, which have summarize their work for the past several years, are also presented. The proposed manual will be useful to readers of a wide range of interests from students and graduate students to teachers and researchers interested in various aspects of the theory and practice of phenomena taking place in nanocomposites
