The remarkable properties of these nano-materials explain why they are used as much in cosmetics and lubricants as in most high-tech components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to describe the basic principles governing nanoscience, and nanophysics in particular. The authors show how the physics and chemistry of atoms influence the properties of nano-objects. They also describe how the properties of macroscopic materials are modified when their size decreases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis first volume is devoted to aggregates or nanoparticles in the ground state. It shows how binding energy and symmetry properties govern the arrangement of atoms according to their electronic structure. It also explains the influence of metal bond complexity on the properties of transition metal nanoparticles. Applications are given for insulator-metal transition, magnetism and catalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA second volume will describe the influence of the temperature, the excited states of aggregates and their optical properties. The authors come from different backgrounds, Michel Broyer from atomic and molecular physics and Patrice Mélinon from condensed matter. They were both pioneers in aggregate and work at Lyon I University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrice Mélinon,Michel Broyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2759834573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782759834570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e EDP Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d","brand":"Patrice Mélinon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659538804991,"sku":"9782759834570","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atomic-clusters-patrice-mzslinon-9782759834570","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
