Elsevier Structure and Properties of Nanoalloys (Frontiers of Nanoscience): Volume 10

Structure and Properties of Nanoalloys is devoted to the topic of alloy nanoparticles, the bi-or multicomponent metallic nanoparticles that are often called nanoalloys. The interest in nanoalloys stems from the wide spectrum of their possible applications in the fields of catalysis, magnetism, and optics. Nanoalloys are also interesting from a basic science point-of-view due to the complexity of their structures and properties. Nanoalloys are presently a very lively research area, with impressive developments in the last ten years. This book meets the need to systematize the wealth of experimental and computational results generated over the last decade. Provides a well-organized, coherent overall structure, with a tutorial style format ideal for teaching and self-study In-depth and fluent descriptions by a single leading academic Presents a wealth of experimental and computational results generated over the last decade Review As an important reference on the structure and properties of nanoalloys, this book provides a wide spectrum of information on their possible applications in the fields of catalysis, magnestism, and optics From the Back Cover Shelving Classification: Materials Science Title: Structure and Properties of NanoalloysImprint: William Andrew ISBN: 978-0-08-100212-4 Tagline: Comprehensive overview of nanoalloy structures and properties from the perspective of a single author who has been active in the field for 15 years. Comprehensive overview of nanoalloy structures and properties from the perspective of a single author who has been active in the field for 15 years. Existing books on the subject are collections of chapters by different authors and do not present a fully coherent treatment of the subject. Introductory chapters specifically written to help the newcomers to enter the field, so that the book should be appealing to students. About the Author Riccardo Ferrando is Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Genoa, Italy. His research interests include: Theory of stochastic processes. Theory of diffusion in periodic systems. Simulation of surface diffusion and crystal growth. Modelling of metal nanoparticles and nanoalloys. Modelling of aggregation processes in colloidal suspensions. He is author of more than 200 publications in peer reviewed journals.
