Nanosdence

As in other fields of nanosdence, the application of STM techniques to the study of ultrathin oxide layers has opened up a new era of oxide materials research. New emergent phenomena of structure, stoichiometry, and associated physical and chemical properties have been observed and new oxide phases, hitherto unknown in the form of bulk material, have been deteded in nanolayer form and have been elucidated with the help of the STM. Some of these oxide nanolayers are and will be of paramount interest to the field of advanced catalysis, as active and passive layers in catalytic model studies, on the one hand, and perhaps even as components in real nanocatalytic applications, on the other hand. We have illustrated with the help of prototypical examples the growth and the structural variety of oxide nanolayers on metal surfaces as seen from the perspective of the STM. The selection of the particular oxide systems presented here refleds in part their relevance in catalysis and is also related to our own scientific experience.

This chapter is not intended as a survey on the present state and future developments of nanoscale science and technology, and the above-mentioned list of examples is far from complete. Nanosdence and nanotechnology will definitely have a strong impact on human-kind in many separate areas. Mention should be made, as the most significant examples, of information technology and the telecommunica-... 

Nature tends to organize materials in 3-D fashion, which is why 2-D and 1-D assemblies usually do not grow, except under special experimental conditions. As noted above, the formation of 2-D assemblies is also possible without having identical building blocks. Moreover, tolerance with respect to deviations from size and shape has been found to be even greater than in the 3-D case. Consequently, the formation of 2-D structures of metal nanoparticles has developed into a major field in the nanosdence, with promising aspects regarding future applications. 

Compared to the First Edition of Nanopartides, this Second Edition of the book offers considerable progress in a host of different fields. Nonetheless, as worldwide research in this area of nanosdence and nanotechnology continues apace, it is to be expected that - in a few years time - further important devdopments will be reported, espedaUy with regards to the appUcation of techniques for biology and medicine.
