Ebook: Semiconductor nanocrystals and silicate nanoparticles

"Studies of semiconductor nanocrystals remain a key component in the repertoire of materials chemistry. As these materials enjoy sustained relevance to applications in optoelectronic materials and biological labeling, updated, in-depth reviews of their fundamental properties continue to be a valuable resource to those interested in the field.

...this volume in the longstandingStructure and Bonding series is a useful compilation of up-to-date reviews regarding semiconductor nanocrystals, especially those of the often-studied II-VI variety. It also continues its tradition of choosing respected scientists in the field that produce lucid papers of value."
