Sommario/riassunto

The demand for new materials with novel properties on the micro- and nano-scale continues to grow. This book provides an overview of state-of-the-art techniques for the synthesis and characterization of inorganic nanomaterials including sonochemistry, microwave dielectric heating, sonoelectrochemistry and RAPET, high-throughput experimentation in heterogeneous catalyst research, photoluminescence, and methods for surface structuring. Imaging techniques include X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray microimaging (SAXS,WAXS & GISAXS), electron microscopy, and solid state NMR. The work is essential reading for all researchers in academia and industry working in the field of nanosciences.

Sommario/riassunto

The Happy Hsiungs recovers the histories of two married Chinese writers who lived and worked in Britain from the 1930's onwards. Shih-I Hsiung shot to worldwide fame with his play "Lady Precious Stream," while Dymia Hsiung was the first Chinese woman to publish a fictional autobiography in English of her life in Britain.
