In semiconductor particles of nanometer size, a gradual transition from solid‐state to
molecular structure occurs as the particle size decreases. Consequently, a splitting of the …

Amphiphilic block copolymers (ABCs) are important in interface and particle stabilization.
Following consideration of the various methods of synthesis of ABCs, mesophases and …

The present monograph attempts to unify these diverse and exciting new developments
within a common framework. First, the physical principles underlying heterogenous electron …

The synthesis and study of so-called “nanoparticles”, particles with diameters in the range of
1− 20 nm, has become a major interdisciplinary area of research over the past 10 years …

The syntheses of transparent colloidal solutions of extremely small titanium dioxide particles
(d< 3 nm) in water, ethanol, 2-propanol, and acetonitrile are presented. Quantum-size effects …

Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have attracted much attention in sample preparation
because of their excellent performance compared with traditional sample-preparation …

Monitoring pollutants in water samples is a challenge to analysts. In recent years, separation
technology based on magnetic materials has received considerable attention. This article …

Molecular inorganic clusters, which are stable under ambient conditions, can be used as
convenient single-source precursors for controlled preparation of 2− 9-nm CdSe and …

Fluorescence is one of the techniques adopted for a large number of optical bioassays and
chemical sensing probes. The key driving motivation is basically governed by the ease of …

Hybrids of hydrophobic sub-2-nm-diameter dodecanethiol-coated Au nanoparticles and
