Nanostructured Interfaces : 2002 MRS Spring Meeting, San Francisco, CA

More than half the volume of nanostructured materials consists of interfaces, and these interfaces determine the materials' properties. Even though the processing of nanostructured materials has advanced enormously over the last few years, the basic nature of interfaces and their influence to properties remains elusive. For example, the adhesion and passivation of nanoassemblies, which are crucial for applications, are currently not well understood. This volume focuses on the basic science of interfaces in nanostructured materials, emphasizing characterization at the atomic level. Experimental investigations, utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy (AEM), such as energy filtered TEM (EFTEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), are featured. Advanced theoretical studies on various nanostructured materials are also addressed.Duscher, G. is the author of 'Nanostructured Interfaces : 2002 MRS Spring Meeting, San Francisco, CA', published 2002 under ISBN 9781558996632 and ISBN 155899663X.
