Nano Materials (Paperback)

Nano Materials Book Description

To read a good book on nano science and technology, the readers should have a reasonable grasp of quantum mechanics, which is dealt with in the first chapter in some detail. Then, two chapters are devoted on how to make different types of nano materials that are useful for various applications with their mechanical properties. Three more chapters deal with the most important magnetic, electronic and optical properties of nano materials citing the most useful and the most well-studied materials of importance today. From these chapters, a future direction on the type of experimental insights can be obtained, and this should ultimately trigger theoretical work in the realm of nano science and technology for all concerned.

In the final chapter, the author deals with the novel technique such as sol-gel and many other methods that have been popular in recent times, along with a survey on nano-optics, nano-magnetics and nano-electronics. All these subjects are attracting a lot of attention of the scientists and technologists on the one hand and on the other hand, both undergraduate and postgraduate students in various universities and institutes.

This book is not for sale in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.


About the Author(s):
Dr. A.K. Bandyopadhyay , now a Professor at the Govt. College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology, Kolkata, has a long association with nano materials and related subjects for over 25 years both in India and in the international arena.

After obtaining B.Tech. in Ceramics from Calcutta University in 1971 and M.Tech. in Metallurgy from I.I.T., Kanpur, in 1974, he did his Ph.D. from Sheffield University, U.K., in 1977 on Amorphous Materials. After a post-doctoral work on Solid State Battery Systems at Sussex University (UK), he worked as a scientist in CNRS Materials Science Laboratory at Montpellier for six years in collaboration with various renowned laboratories in Europe and USA.

After working with various multinational companies and gaining useful industrial experience, he has again come back to teaching and research on various aspects of nano technology including theoretical research on nano ferroelectrics and photonic materials during the last six years with an active collaboration with some universities in the USA. He has more than 50 publications in international journals and he teaches Quantum Mechanics, Solid-state Physics and Glass Science at the moment.
