Defects in Nanocrystals: Structural and Physico-Chemical Aspects discusses the nature of semiconductor systems and the effect of the size and shape on their thermodynamic and optoelectronic properties at the mesoscopic and nanoscopic levels. The nanostructures considered in this book are individual nanometric crystallites, nanocrystalline films, and nanowires of which the thermodynamic, structural, and optical properties are discussed in detail. The work:

Outlines the influence of growth processes on their morphology and structure

Describes the benefits of optical spectroscopies in the understanding of the role and nature of defects in nanostructured semiconductors
Considers the limits of nanothermodynamics
Details the critical role of interfaces in nanostructural behavior
Covers the importance of embedding media in the physico-chemical properties of nanostructured semiconductors
Explains the negligible role of core point defects vs. surface and interface defects

Written for researchers, engineers, and those working in the physical and physicochemical sciences, this work comprehensively details the chemical, structural, and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures for the development of more powerful and efficient devices.

Industry Reviews

Defects in Nanocrystals concentrates on the physicochemical properties of nanostructured semiconductors. Although properties of materials are enhanced in nanostructures and nanocrystals due to the higher proportion of surfaces compared to the situation characteristic of bulk materials, the differing properties are further influenced by defects in the nanocrystals. This situation is summarized in the conclusion of Chapter 1 as "small is beautiful and useful." The physics and thermodynamics of nanostructures are discussed in Chapter 2, the preparation and properties of nanocrystalline silicon materials in Chapter 3, and other materials in Chapter 4. Optical properties of defects in semiconductor nanomaterials are then covered in Chapter 5. The literature of nanomaterials is massive and the author has been selectively inclusive. The audience for this work would include scholars and professionals concerned with the analysis and technology of nanocrystalline semiconductor materials.
