An introduction to the science of nanoparticles, from first principles to their use in novel industrial applications.
As a basis for understanding nanoparticle behavior, the book first outlines the principles governing nanoparticle architecture, cluster formation and phase transitions. It then goes on to describe the chemical synthesis of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles with defined characteristics, their structural, electrical and magnetic properties, as well as current methods to monitor these properties, illustrated by numerous examples from the recent literature.
Among others, the following nanoparticle-based applications are discussed:
- Single-electron devices
- Ultra dense recording media
- Bioelectronic devices and sensors
- Labeling of proteins, nucleic acids and other biomaterials
Its clear structure and comprehensive coverage make this a prime reference for chemists and materials scientists working with and developing nanoparticle systems.

"Insgesamt gibt dieses Buch einen profunden Über- und Einblick in den Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik der funktionellen Nanopartikel. Es ist außerordentlich wertvoll für jeden, der sich mit dieser Marterie beschäftigt, von den physikalischen und chemischen Grundlagen bis hin zu den (potentiellen) Anwendungen." R. Wäsche, Materials and Corrosion - Werkstoffe und Korrosion, 11/2004
"... Nanoparticles by Günter Schmid is a comprehensive compendium on the theory and synthesis of semiconductor, metal and magnetic nanoparticles. It appears that much effort was put in by the editor and authors to make this book useful both to students and to group leaders pursuing research in the nanoparticle field. ... I believe this book is timely and should find a wide audience of readers interested in the fundamentals of nanoparticle technology." Nicholas A. Kotov, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan, Advanced Materials, Vol. 17, No. 4, February 23, 2005
