Nanocharacterization Techniques

Nanocharacterization Techniques covers the main characterization techniques used in nanomaterials and nanostructures. The chapters focus on the fundamental aspects of characterization techniques and their distinctive approaches. Significant advances that have taken place over recent years in refining techniques are covered, and the mathematical foundations needed to use the techniques are also explained in detail. This book is an important reference for materials scientists and engineers looking for a through analysis of nanocharacterization techniques in order to establish which is best for their needs.

Includes a detailed analysis of different nanocharacterization techniques, allowing readers to explore which one is best for their particular needsProvides examples of how each characterization technique has been used, giving readers a greater understanding of how each technique can be profitably usedCovers the mathematical background needed to utilize each of these techniques to their best effect, meaning that readers can gain a full understanding of the theoretical principles behind each technique coveredServes as an important, go-to reference for materials scientists and engineers
