Size Effects in Metals, Semiconductors and Inorganic Compounds

Edited by: Grégory Guisbiers and Dibyendu Ganguli

Online since: July 2010

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are now growing very rapidly. The properties of nanostructures are different to those of the bulk material, due to the high surface area to volume ratio and possible appearance of quantum effects at the nanoscale. The study of size and shape effects upon material properties has therefore attracted enormous attention.
