Nanoparticles by Celso de Mello Donegá Pdf

This book can be roughly divided into three parts: fundamental physico-chemical and physical principles of Nanoscience, chemistry and synthesis of nanoparticles, and techniques to study nanoparticles. The first chapter is concerned with the origin of the size dependence of the properties of nanomaterials, explaining it in terms of two fundamental nanoscale effects. This chapter also serves as a general introduction to the book, briefly addressing the definition and classification of nanomaterials and the techniques used to fabricate and study them. Chapter 2 lays out the theoretical framework within which to understand size effects on the properties of semiconductor nanocrystals, with particular emphasis on the quantum confinement effect. The optical properties of metal nanoparticles and metal nanostructures (periodic lattices) are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is devoted to nanoporous materials, treating in detail their synthesis, structure and functional properties, as well as the physical properties of liquids confined in nanopores. The preparation methods, characterization techniques, and applications of supported nanoparticles are covered in Chapter 5. The sixth Chapter presents the essential physical-chemical concepts needed to understand the preparation of colloidal inorganic nanoparticles, and the remarkable degree of control that has been achieved over their composition, size, shape and surface. The last four Chapters are dedicated to a few selected characterization techniques that are very valuable tools to study nanoparticles. Chapter 7 concentrates on electron microscopy techniques, while Chapter 8 focuses on scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) based spectroscopic techniques and their application to nanoparticles are explored in Chapter 9. Finally, Chapter 10 shows how solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques can be used to unravel the surface chemistry of colloidal nanoparticles.

Synthesis and Characterization of Semiconductor and Semiconductor-metal Nanoparticles by Elena Selishcheva Pdf

This work is a contribution to the development of colloidal synthesis of different nanomaterials, such as lead chalcogenide, indium oxide nanoparticles, and hybrid nanostructures, consisting of copper indium sulfide selenide and gold nanoparticles. In the first part, nearly monodispersePbE (E=S, Se, Te) semiconductor nanoparticles produced via a novel synthesis which includes the occurrence of in situ formed Pb0-particles are shown. Spherical PbSe nanoparticles are further investigated with respect to possible application in hybrid solar cells. The second part is about a novel non-injection synthesis route for the preparation of colloidal In2O3 nanocrystals. The shape of the nanocrystals can be influenced by the addition of copper ions. Finally, the selective growth of gold nanocrystals onto CuInSSe nanoparticles to form semiconductor/metal hybrid nanostructures is demonstrated. During the synthesis gold nanocrystals grow onto vertexes of CuInSSe pyramids. engl.
