HANDBOOK OF NANOCERAMICS AND THEIR BASED NANODEVICES 5 VOL SET (HB 2009) Hardcover

The Handbook of Nanoceramics and Their Based Nanodevices offers a comprehensive exploration of the latest breakthroughs and emerging trends in nanoceramics, bridging the gap between science, engineering, and medicine. This extensive resource covers the synthesis, functionalization, processing, and characterization of nanoceramic materials in a variety of forms, including nanocomposites, nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires, nanotubes, nanorods, nanocrystals, nanofilms, superlattices, and bulk structures. It delves into the structure-property relationships at the nanoscale, addressing both functional and structural nanoceramics, as well as hybrid materials such as metal-ceramic, polymer-ceramic, and ceramic-ceramic nanocomposites. The handbook details a wide range of properties—electrical, electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical, dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and chemical—and highlights their applications in fuel cells, batteries, sensors, biosensors, photonic and electronic devices, capacitors, nonvolatile memory, semiconductors, catalysts, structural components, and environmental sensing technologies. It also examines the use of low- and high-k ceramics in nanoelectronics. This five-volume set adopts an interdisciplinary approach, integrating chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology to provide a complete picture of nanoscale ceramics and their device applications. It is the first of its kind, featuring 79 in-depth review chapters authored by over 150 leading scientists from 20 countries. With more than 10,000 references and thousands of illustrations, data tables, chemical diagrams, and equations, this handbook stands as a landmark reference for researchers, scientists, and engineers working in nanoceramics worldwide.
