Metal oxides and particularly their nanostructures have emerged as
animportant class of materials with a rich spectrum of properties and
greatpotential for device applications. In this book, contributions from
leadingexperts emphasize basic physical properties, synthesis and
processing, and thelatest applications in such areas as energy,
catalysis and data storage. Functional Metal Oxide
Nanostructuresis an essential reference for any materials scientist
or engineer with aninterest in metal oxides, and particularly in recent
progress in defectphysics, strain effects, solution-based synthesis,
ionic conduction, and theirapplications.
