Chemical Approaches to Semiconductor Nanocrystals and Nanocrystal Materials

  • Chapter
Nanotechnology

Abstract

At present “nanotechnology” is a vision rather than a reality. We do not have practical, manufacturable methods to make complex materials, machines, and electrical circuits on the 1–100 nm scale. However, there is a flourishing “nanoscience” research effort involving ideas and methods drawn from chemistry, physics, and engineering science. “Nanoscience” presently is in a discovery stage, uncovering new physical processes and effects, and learning how to use these processes in new devices and designed materials. The key technological issue is control of natural processes to make assemblies nf nanometer components in useful ways.
