Chemical synthesis of nanostructured metals, metal alloys, and semiconductors

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the various synthetic methods used to make semiconductor nanoclusters. Ultrafine microstructures having average phase or grain size on order a nanometer are classified as nanostructured materials (NSMs). Currently, in wider meaning term, any material that contains grains clusters below 100 nm, layers filaments dimension, can be considered nanostructured. The properties NSMs depend fine and distribution, chemical composition constituent phases, presence interfaces, more specifically, boundaries, heterophase free surface, interactions between domains. Considerable opportunities now exist for synthesizing nanophase with variety new architectures at length scales from atomic molecular precursors via assembly atom several other preparation methods. Solution chemistry directly produce either desired particles further treated by reaction obtain final products. It should pointed out detailed work characterization these their property evaluation is required. Concerns about yield impurity content need critically addressed before particular processing method adopted large-scale production.
