Nanostructured Materials Processing, Properties And Applications

Chapter 1 now discusses the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles. Chapter 2 is a new addition, covering synthesis of nanostructured materials by inert-gas condensation methods. Chapter 6 presents recent breakthroughs in the mechanical and magnetic properties of electrodeposited nanocrystalline materials. Chapter 7 describes various modeling techniques including molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. Chapter 9 presents important advances in nanostructured materials for gas reactive applications. Of special interest in the sensitivity to nanocrystalline structure. Chapter 10 is a new addition, covering magnetic nanoparticles and applications for magnetic recording media, spin valve devices, and tunnel junction structures and possible magnetic random access memory. Chapter 12 shows an experimental breakthrough of the observation of both high strength and good ductility in some nanocrystalline materials. Chapter 13 reports on a Ti-based alloy with a nanocrystalline matrix and micron-scale ductile dendrites exhibiting both high strength and good ductility.Koch, Carl C. is the author of 'Nanostructured Materials Processing, Properties And Applications', published 2006 under ISBN 9780815515340 and ISBN 0815515340.
