interest in the development and applications of nanomaterials has grown, so has the need to understand how to properly characterize them. A lack of understanding of the problems encountered when analyzing materials at such small length scales can lead to confusion for the researcher, leading to a misinterpretation of experimental results. This book covers the basic principles, uses, and limitations of a wide variety of characterization techniques used to study the structure, chemistry, and properties of nanostructured material. With case studies on the characterization of nanostructures in advanced alloys, polymeric materials, electronic devices, and more.
