Wu J., Cao J., Han W.-Q., Janotti A., Kim H.-C. (Eds.) Functional Metal Oxide Nanostructures

Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, 2012. — 370 p. — (Springer Series in Materials Science) — ISBN: 9781441999306Metal oxides and particularly their nanostructures have emerged as animportant class of materials with a rich spectrum of properties and greatpotential for device applications. In this book, contributions from leadingexperts emphasize basic physical properties, synthesis and processing, and thelatest applications in such areas as energy, catalysis and data storage. Functional Metal Oxide Nanostructuresis an essential reference for any materials scientist or engineer with aninterest in metal oxides, and particularly in recent progress in defectphysics, strain effects, solution-based synthesis, ionic conduction, and theirapplications.Basic Properties
