Negative Positive
Title: Substantial detailed information
Review: Nanotechnology has been extremely hot in the past few years. But separating hype from substance is difficult at times. Well, this book should come in handy for this. It is a substantive treatment of various topics related to nanotech.The growth of nanoparticles occupies a major portion of the book. It gives a good treatment of fullerenes (C60 and related compounds), and how to grow crystals of these. An alternative means of growing nanoparticles is by electrochemistry, and this is also discussed. Yet another method is via electrodeposition.Various materials are covered. Most importantly perhaps are how to make nanoparticles or nanoclusters on silicon. The aim here is to integrate this with the vast body of knowledge about conventional silicon technology, and to use the many silicon fabs.
