Overview

This book provides a general overview and current state of the art of different types of metal oxide nanomaterials, either in nanoparticles or thin film structure. It covers from the development and optimization of different nanofabrication/synthesis techniques for nanostructures which are currently the attention of the research community, the study of the structure and interactions by different characterization techniques of heterostructured materials and the final impact in different applications such as nanotherapy, data storage, super magnets, high-frequency devices. The book’s 13 chapters provide deep insight into the intriguing science of oxide materials and include contributions on novel technologies to fabricate nanomaterials with a broad range of functional properties (semiconducting, magnetic, ferroelectric, thermoelectric, optical, flexible and mechanical).  This book is intended to the experts for consolidation of their knowledge but also for students who aim to learn and get basics of nanostructured metal oxides in diverse forms.

Author Information

Alejandro G. Roca is currently working at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) in Barcelona (Spain). During his research career he has worked in different research centres from Spain (ICMM, INA-UNIZAR, ICMA), United Kingdom (University of York) and Japan (Tohoku University), and also in the private sector (Liquids Research Ltd). The nature of his research spans two research lines related with magnetic iron oxide- based nanoparticles. His main research line is the development of novel nanofabrication methodologies of magnetic-based nanoparticles for biomedicine with an accurate control over the size, shape and interphase features. His target materials range from hybrid heterostructures with magnetic and optical domains where the heterostructure has the properties of both domains plus the ones arising from the interaction of both domains, and anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles like magnetite nanocubes or nanorods, with direction-dependent properties. He is focused on the evaluation of these nanomaterials for their performance in theranostic application (contrast agents in different imaging techniques or nanoheters in magnetic and/or optical hyperthermia). Dr. Roca is also focused on the study of the structure and magnetism of magnetic-based nanostructures. During this study, he combines different lab-scale techniques together with synchrotron/neutron techniques that lead to the complete understanding of the structure and magnetism of nanomaterials. Elvira Fantechi graduated in Chemistry at the University of Florence, and obtained the Ph.D degree in Material Science and Engineering at the same institution. She is currently Postdoc Researcher at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Pisa (Italy). Her research activity is in the fields of nanomagnetism and magnetoplasmonics, and it is mainly focused on the synthesis and characterization of the structural, optical and magnetic properties of novel nanomaterials based on transition metals oxides or metal particles. Her interests are devoted to the development of biocompatible magnetic and magnetic-plasmonic nanomaterials for biomedical applications and magnetic-plasmonic nanostructures for high-sensitivity sensors. Hanae Kijima-Aoki is currently working as Assistant Professor at the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences of the Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan). She got her PhD at the Graduate School, Division of Engineering of the Tohoku University. Her topics cover the electrical and electronic engineering materials focusing on high frequency electric devices, soft magnetic thin films and Nano-hetero structured materials. She belongs to The Magnetics Society of Japan and the Japan Institute of Metals and Materials. Satoru Kaneko is a group leader at KISTEC (Kanagawa Institute of Industrial Technology and Science), and a visiting researcher at Tokyo Institute of Technology. He received B.S. atTokyo Metropolitan Univ., M.S.at Univ. of Arizona, and PhD. at Tokyo Institute of Technology. His study focuses on synthesis of functional materials of oxides, superconductor, and graphite related materials, and also interested in fabrication of nano structure, for example, self-organisation of periodic nanostructure by laser scanning. He spends weekend with road bike and joking, and enjoys making bacon and beer in back yard. Tamio Endo holds Ph.D. (Kyoto University, Japan) and MsD (Gifu University, Japan) degrees. He is Emeritus Professor at Mie University (Japan), Gifu University Special Researcher (Japan), Honorary Professor of Southwest Jiaotong University (China), Visiting Researcher at University of California (San Diego,1995) (USA).
