Nanophase Materials is the first and, as yet, the only comprehensive book published in this new and exciting area of materials science. It gives a broad overview of the revolutionary new field of nanophase materials; a view which spans the materials, physics, and chemistry research communities at a tutorial level that is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and experts or would-be experts in the science of nanostructured materials. The articles are authored by many of the world's most prominent scientists in this field. The book covers the diverse methods for synthesizing nanophase materials, a variety of subsequent processing methodologies, what is known about the structures of these materials on various length scales from atomic to macroscopic, and the properties of these unique and novel materials. The materials properties covered are mechanical, electronic, optical, and magnetic and hence span a wide range of important new opportunities for technological applications. Booknews The June-July 1993 NATO ASI covered a broad spectrum of topics from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science that comprise the new and developing field of nanophase materials. The nature of nanophase materials was discussed in relation to other similar nanostructured materials and the fundamental criteria for their synthesis were elucidated. This volume contains lectures, invited talks, and poster presentations organized into seven chapters: synthesis; characterization; mechanical properties; electronic and transport properties; optical properties; magnetic properties; and applications.
