Zero-dimensional Nanomaterials

Nanostructures
Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Applications are determined by structures. In this course, students are taught to be informed about structures in nanoscales.
Overview
Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties, and properties leads to find out materials’ application.

 On top of that, in nanoscale, materials are manipulated to reach a specific structure for new applications. In one sense nanostructures are classified as zero, one, two and three dimensional structures. In addition, carbon nanostructures, porous materials, organic nanostructures and natural nanostructures are known classifications.

Booklet
Description
 It starts with an introduction to nanoparticles and metals. It mentions the applications of nanoparticles and goes through case studies of some metal nanoparticles including silver, gold, palladium, nickel, cobalt and iron. Then it goes through nanocrystal synthesis.
Mental Challenge
 Why are metal nanoparticles so special?
