Nanocrystalline (nc) materials can be defined as solids with grain sizes in the range of 1–
100 nm. Contrary to coarse-grained metals, which become more difficult to twin with …

Nanoparticles can be beautiful, as in stained glass windows, or they can be ugly as in wear
and corrosion debris from implants. We estimate that there will be about 70 000 papers in …

This book is written and organized around three topics: electron diffraction, electron optics,
and electron crystallography. It is intended as an advanced undergraduateor graduate-level …

Determining the structures of nanoparticles at atomic resolution is vital to understand their
structure–property correlations. Large metal nanoparticles with core diameter beyond 2 nm …

Abstract “Nanomania” has reached the area of heterogeneous catalysis. Nanosized catalyst
constituents are important for functions that require structural control over several scales of …

Homogeneous ice nucleation from supercooled water was studied in the temperature range
of 220–240 K through combining the forward flux sampling method (Allen et al., J. Chem …

Metallic nanoparticles exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties with applications in
plasmonics, biosensing and nanomedicine,,,,. Recently, new synthesis techniques have …

Disclinations together with dislocations represent a class of linear defects in solids.
Disclinations are characterized by typical singularities and the property of multi-value of the …

Polyhedral gold nanocrystals with decahedral, icosahedral, and truncated tetrahedral
shapes are synthesized by a simple one-pot polyol process in the prescence of poly (vinyl …

Structural transformations in a shallow surface region of a bulk Ag (001) target irradiated by
a femtosecond laser pulse are investigated in large-scale atomistic simulations and …
