"The extensive bibliography makes this
book a good reference work representative of the field as a whole ...
Overall the book is well organized and covers the necessary topics to
serve as an introductory text to the properties and role of
nanomaterials in optical and photonic applications ... the key
strengths of the book are that it presents a nicely flowing birds-eye
overview of nanomaterial optics and spectroscopy, and it is
attractively priced." -- Journal of the American Chemistry
Society
Optical properties are among the most fascinating and useful
properties of nanomaterials and have been extensively studied using a
variety of optical spectroscopic techniques. A basic understanding of
the optical properties and related spectroscopic techniques is
essential for anyone who is interested in learning about nanomaterials
of semiconductors, insulators or metal. This is partly because optical
properties are intimately related to other properties and
functionalities (e.g. electronic, magnetic, and thermal) that are of
fundamental importance to many technological applications, such as
energy conversion, chemical analysis, biomedicine, optoelectronics,
communication, and radiation detection.
Intentionally designed for upper-level undergraduate students
and beginning graduate students with some basic knowledge of quantum
mechanics, this book provides the first systematic coverage of optical
properties and spectroscopic techniques of nanomaterials.
