Reihe: Series in Materials Science and Engineering

Offering a detailed summary of available modeling methods, both “top-down” and “bottom-up”, this book offers systematic coverage of the use of modeling in the development and application of inorganic nano-materials in industry including sensors, optics, biotechnology, and solar cells. It provides readers with the necessary information to choose the right models and methods for describing particular physical and chemical properties of inorganic materials at varying length scales. Sections include Structure and Dimensionality; Thermodynamics and Nucleation; Magnetic, Optical, and Electronic and Transport Properties; and Case Studies.

Über Autor(innen)

Prof. Stefan Bromley is an ICREA (Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats ) Research Professor at the Departament de Química Física, Universitat de Barcelona and leads the “Nanoclusters and Nanostructured Materials” group. Since his PhD in Computational Physics (University of Southampton, UK) in 1997 he has held research posts in the U.K. (Postdoctoral fellow, Royal Institution of Great Britain), the Netherlands (Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology) and Spain (Ramon y Cajal fellowship, University of Barcelona). Dr. Bromley has published over 100 refereed articles (including 2 reviews on inorganic nanomaterials) and 5 book chapters and has given ~35 invited talks. His main research interest is in the structure and properties of inorganic nanoclusters and their use as novel materials building blocks.

Martijn A. Zwijnenburg is a lecturer and UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Career Acceleration Fellow at University College London, where he leads the Computational Photochemistry of Materials research group. He obtained his PhD in chemical engineering from Delft Technical University (TUD), the Netherlands in 2004. He has held research posts in the Netherlands (postdoctoral research assistant, TUD), the United Kingdom (Marie Curie fellow and Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research [NOW], and talent fellow at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, London), and Spain (Juan de la Cierva Fellow at the University of Barcelona). He has written more than 50 refereed publications and given several invited talks. His main research interests are the prediction of the excited state properties of inorganic nanostructured, polymeric, and molecular materials; the link between these excited state properties; the application of materials in applications such as photovoltaics and photocatalysis; and generating realistic structural models of materials.
