In principle the deviation <5 can be determined by the use of usual analytical chemistry or a highly sensitive thermo-balance. These methods, however, are not suitable for very small deviations. In these cases the following methods are often applied to detect the deviation physico-chemical methods (ionic conductivity, diffusion constant, etc.), electro-chemical methods (coulometric titration, etc.), and physical methods (electric conductivity, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance, Mossbauer effect, etc.), some of which will be described in detail. 

Surface improvement is a very important link between preparation and application of nano materials the specific method employed for the surface improvement is closely related to the occasion where the nano material is to be used. For nano copper powder the main problem is its easy oxidation, i.e., it has no anti-oxidation nature at room temperature. The partial replacement of Cu by Ag to transform the nano copper powder into the Cu-Ag double metal powder is one of the most feasible methods for the surface improvement of nano copper, because the nano Cu-Ag double metal can meet the requirement of anti-oxidation at room temperature also the latter can be used in the preparation of electro-conductive materials and electro-conductive rubbers etc. to replace some expensive metals such as silver and palladium. 

C Hagemark and Toren [61] measured the Zn-Ziii+ ,0 phase boundary by an electro-chemical method and by Hall and conductivity measurements assuming that excess zinc constitutes a shallow donor in ZnO. New measurements of Tomlins et al. [62] suggest that Hagemark and Toren actually measured the phase boundary Zn-ZnOi-j, i.e., the concentration of oxygen vacancies. Recently, Lott et al. [63] measured the excess zinc in the vapor phase directly by optical absorption. Their results are shown in Fig. 1.6. 

The very nature of electro-analytical methods based on the generation of current between two electrodes at different potentials, implies the passage of ionic species through an electrically conducting solution. This in turn dictates that conditions exist in solution capable of sustaining stable ionic species. This, of necessity, requires that the solvent has some degree of polar character in order to be capable of solvating the ions. 

Electropolymerization method is one of the most interesting method to control the copolymer composition in molecular sequence or chain sequence, drastically. Accordingly, in the case that the property of the electropolymerized material is electro-conductive and insoluble, a heterolayer structure and/or a sloped structure with conducting polymers are constructed on the electrode.

Electrochemical polymeriza tion of heterocycles is useful in the preparation of conducting composite materials. One technique employed involves the electro-polymerization of pyrrole into a swollen polymer previously deposited on the electrode surface (148—153). This method allows variation of the physical properties of the material by control of the amount of conducting polymer incorporated into the matrix film. If the matrix polymer is an ionomer such as Nation (154—158) it contributes the dopant ion for the oxidized conducting polymer and acts as an effective medium for ion transport during electrochemical switching of the material.

With polymeric materials it is essential first to provide on the surface a conductive film as a basis for electro-deposition there must be good adhesion of this film to the substrate, and the quality of the finished work will depend on the method used to apply it and the standard attained. 

ZnO thin films can be prepared by a variety of techniques such as magnetron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, pulsed-laser deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, spray-pyrolysis, and (electro-)chemical deposition [24,74]. In this book, sputtering (Chap. 5), chemical vapor deposition (Chap. 6), and pulsed-laser deposition (Chap. 7) are described in detail, since these methods lead to the best ZnO films concerning high conductivity and transparency. The first two methods allow also large area depositions making them the industrially most advanced deposition techniques for ZnO. ZnO films easily crystallize, which is different for instance compared with ITO films that can...
