This textbook builds upon the solid foundation established by the first edition, addressing the persistent scarcity of comprehensive yet accessible textbooks in the field. While preserving the original structure and essence, this revised edition updates the content to reflect a decade of advancements in Nanoscience. Designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science, the book focuses on the fundamental principles illustrated through the study of nanoparticles. It encompasses three interconnected parts: the physicochemical principles of Nanoscience, the chemistry and synthesis of nanoparticles, and techniques for studying these materials. The new edition benefits from years of classroom experience, enhancing clarity based on student feedback, and remains a didactical tool that emphasizes essential concepts without sacrificing depth. Despite necessary exclusions to maintain conciseness, such as detailed discussions on superlattices and nanomagnetism, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, leaving room for readers to explore rapidly evolving applications through the cited literature.

Über Autor(innen)

Celso de Mello Donega is an associate professor at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science at Utrecht University. He holds an M.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (1990) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Utrecht University (1994). With extensive expertise in the chemistry and optoelectronic properties of nanomaterials, Donega focuses on colloidal nanocrystals and heteronanocrystals of semiconductors. His pioneering work has led to the development of new preparation methods for high-quality colloidal nanomaterials, enhancing their properties and enabling new compositions. This has allowed his research group to uncover new phenomena and make significant contributions to the understanding of nanoscale materials' chemistry and physics, with applications in biomedical imaging, light-emitting devices, and luminescent solar concentrators.
