esigned for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, Introductory Na asks key questions about the quantitative concepts that underlie this new field optical and electrical properties of nanomaterials dependent upon size, shape, morphology? How do we construct nanometersized objects? Using solved exam throughout the chapters, this textbook shows to what extent we may predict t and functionality of nanomaterials by understanding how their properties change with scal Fundamental concepts are reinforced through end-of-chapter problems and further reading appreciate complete derivations of relevant equations, simplified assumptions for practical listed references, and a historical overview about the development of colloidal quantum do

THE AUTHOR Masaru Kuno earned his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by an NRC postdoctoral fellowship at JILA, University of Colorado at Boulder. He is Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame working on the synthesis and optical microscopy of solution-based semiconductor nanowires.
