Summary

Spectroscopy and Characterization of Nanomaterials and Novel Materials

Comprehensive overview of nanomaterial characterization methods and applications from leading researchers in the field

In Spectroscopy and Characterization of Nanomaterials and Novel Materials: Experiments, Modeling, Simulations, and Applications, the editor Prabhakar Misra and a team of renowned contributors deliver a practical and up-to-date exploration of the characterization and applications of nanomaterials and other novel materials, including quantum materials and metal clusters. The contributions cover spectroscopic characterization methods for obtaining accurate information on optical, electronic, magnetic, and transport properties of nanomaterials.

The book reviews nanomaterial characterization methods with proven relevance to academic and industry research and development teams, and modern methods for the computation of nanomaterials’ structure and properties - including machine-learning approaches - are also explored. Readers will also find descriptions of nanomaterial applications in energy research, optoelectronics, and space science, as well as:

• A thorough introduction to spectroscopy and characterization of graphitic nanomaterials and metal oxides
• Comprehensive explorations of simulations of gas separation by adsorption and recent advances in Weyl semimetals and axion insulators
• Practical discussions of the chemical functionalization of carbon nanotubes and applications to sensors
• In-depth examinations of micro-Raman imaging of planetary analogs

Perfect for physicists, materials scientists, analytical chemists, organic and polymer chemists, and electrical engineers, Spectroscopy and Characterization of Nanomaterials and Novel Materials: Experiments, Modeling, Simulations, and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of sensor developers and computational physicists and modelers.
