Kurzbeschreibung
The book gives a systematic description of the preparation , characterization and manipulation of cluster beams for the synthesis of nanocrystalline materials. It also addresses all the issues relevant in the realization of nanophase structures (cluster-surface interaction, cluster coalescence). The book provides a complete description of the method with the major aim of offering a working tool for scientists coming from different fields. Particular emphasis is given to the potential of this technique in connection with the synthesis of nanostructured materials and to the combination of cluster beams with other surface science experimental techniques. The question of the compatibility with more standard technologies will also be addressed.
Buchrückseite
The book describes the synthesis of nanostructured materials by cluster beam deposition. The preparation and characterization of clusters in molecular beams is described in detail providing both the background and the know-how needed to exploit all the capabilities of this technique in the synthesis of new materials. Its implementation with surface science diagnostic tools will be analyzed and discussed, together with the cluster-surface interaction and cluster coalescence phenomena. The different aspects of characterization of nanocrystalline materials from cluster precursors will be presented and discussed. A discussion of the integration of cluster beam methods with other production techniques and an evaluation of its technological revelance complete the book.
