Nanocharacterization Techniques

Nanocharacterization Techniques covers the main characterization techniques used in nanomaterials and nanostructures. The chapters have been developed in order to 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 here, and the mathematical foundations needed to use the techniques are also explained in detail. This book is an important reference source 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 needs.Provides examples of how each charactereization technique has been used, to give readers a greater understanding of how each technique can be profitably used.Covers 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 covered.
