Further, it addresses currently emerging characterization techniques such as optical and acoustic, vibrational spectroscopy (Brillouin, infrared, Raman), electronic, magnetic, fluorescence correlation imaging, laser lithography, small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and other techniques, including site-selective nanoprobes. The book analyzes the topological aspects to identify and quantify these effects in terms of topology metrics. The topological materials are ubiquitous and range from (i) de novo nanoscale allotropes of carbons in various forms such as nanotubes, nanorings, nanohorns, nanowalls, peapods, graphene, etc. to (ii) metallo-organic frameworks, (iii) helical gold nanotubes, (iv) Möbius conjugated polymers, (v) block co-polymers, (vi) supramolecular assemblies, to (vii) a variety of biological and soft-matter systems, e.g. foams and cellular materials, vesicles of different shapes and genera, biomimetic membranes, and filaments, (viii) topological insulators and topological superconductors, (ix) a variety of Dirac materials including Dirac and Weyl semimetals, as well as (x) knots and network structures. Topological databases and algorithms to model such materials have been also established in this book. In order to understand and properly characterize these important emergent materials, it is necessary to go far beyond the traditional paradigm of microscopic structure–property–function relationships to a paradigm that explicitly incorporates topological aspects from the outset to characterize and/or predict the physical properties and currently untapped functionalities of these advanced materials. Simulation and modeling tools including quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, 3D visualization and tomography are also indispensable. These concepts have found applications in condensed matter physics, materials science and engineering, physical chemistry and biophysics, and the various topics covered in the book have potential applications in connection with novel synthesis techniques, sensing and catalysis. As such, the book offers a unique resource for graduate students and researchers alike.Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences,0171-1873 ;189Solid state physicsOptical materialsElectronic materialsPhysical chemistryAmorphous substancesComplex fluidsNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresPolymers  Solid State Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Physical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Nanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Polymer Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008Solid state physics.Optical materials.Electronic materials.Physical chemistry.Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Polymers  .Solid State Physics.Optical and Electronic Materials.Physical Chemistry.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Nanoscale Science and Technology.Polymer Sciences.514Gupta Sanjuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSaxena Avadhedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300540603321Role of Topology in Materials1867672UNINA
