Pure metal nanoparticles have shown exceptional catalytic properties which have motivated modem researchers to come up with innovative ideas to synthesize nanoparticles in a cost effective manner. Apart from catalysis, potential applications of metal nanoparticles ate well known in other fields such as pigments, electronic and magnetic materials, dmg deUvery etc. Here we report solution combustion synthesis method to synthesize transition metals (Ni, Cu and Co) in a single step process. Metal nitrates and glycine are used as synthesis precursors and dissolved in water to make a homogeneous aqueous solution which is combusted to produce metal nanoparticles with desired composition.

The exertion of precise control over the spatial arrangement of metal-complexes is of considerable interest for the development of molecular-based electronic and magnetic materials. With this in mind, our own work turned towards exploiting the stacked conformation of planar metal-complexes within box-shaped host 1 to generate specific metal-metal interactions. Following the addition of bisacetylacetonato metal-complexes 4 (M = Pt(II), Pd(II), and... 

Barium carbonate is used as a raw material for synthesising other ceramics used in electronics and magnetic materials. The opportunities for its use could be increased if an economical production route for the manufacture of fine BaCOj crystals could be developed. Tai et al. (2006) demonstrated the production of barium carbonate using a spinning disc reactor (SDR).

An overview of the atomistic and electronic phenomena utilized in electroceramic technology is given in Figure 3. More detailed discussions of compositional families and stmcture—property relationships can be found in other articles. (See for example, Ferroelectrics and Magnetic materials.)...

Dithiolene complexes with the maleonitriledithiolate (mnt) ligand form highly delocalized systems and are widespread in studies of conducting and magnetic materials. The electronic properties have been extensively studied with various computational methods including Hiickel and extended Hiickel approaches to identify the nature of the orbitals involved in intramolecular and intermolecular interactions. These structural properties allow the complexes to interact in the solid state via short stacking S, S and short interstack S---S contacts.10 4-1048... 

Other appHcations that take advantage of the photonic, electronic, and magnetic properties of these interesting materials are also envisioned [53, 61,62]. 

The electronic and magnetic properties of nanolayers are important in devices formed from electronic materials that are more conventional. We have already discussed quantum well lasers (see Chapter 8) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) devices used for hard disk read heads (see Chapter 9). Quantum well lasers may be an important component of light-based computers. Other possibilities include magnets with unusual properties (Section 11.2).
