The purpose of this book is to provide a general description of basic nanomaterials, characterization tools, and fabrication processes routinely used in academia and industry. This book serves as a reference for students planning to pursue coursework in nanotechnology. Students preparing for roles as technicians or entry level scientists in nanotechnology-based laboratories will find this book useful as well. Familiarity with basic concepts from the physical sciences helps with understanding the unique behaviors occuring at the nanoscale. For this reason, two chapters covering relevant concepts from freshman-level chemistry and physics are included.
