Nanostructured Silicon-based Powders and Composites

by Andre Pierre Legrand (Editor), Christiane Senemaud (Editor)

Overview

In recent years an increasing interest has been devoted to nanostructured composites. This attention is largely due to exciting possible applications ranging from new catalysts to the preparation of nanocomposites ceramics, with significant improvements in their properties. This book provides a comprehensive survey of French contributions t

Editorial Reviews

"[A] very detailed, comprehensive review of the synthesis, structural characterization, and mechanical properties of laser-synthesized silicon-based nanocomposites. … A strong point of the text is that the uniformity of the preparation and characterization techniques employed provide a means of independently studying the effects of preparation conditions. … Strengths of the text include the expertise of the contributing authors, the high quality of the research, and the extensive reference lists provided with each chapter."
- MRS Bulletin, Vol. 30, January 2005

"[T]he book does an admirable job of covering all relevant information at a level accessible to readers with some general background in solid state physics. … [T]he book surveys an important class of materials, including their preparation, characterization, and physical properties. … [It] provides a solid foundation … .
