Nanostructured Materials

The synthesis, characterization, and processing of nanostructured materials are part of the emerging and rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. Remarkable variations in fundamental electrical, optical and magnetic properties occur, as one progresses from an infinitely extended solid to a particle of material consisting of a countable number of atoms. Carbon-based nanomaterials and nanostructures including fullerenes and nanotubes are playing a significant role in nanoscale science and technology.
