Preface
This book highlights the most recent advances in nanoscience from leading
researchers in Ukraine, Europe, and beyond. It features contributions from participants of the 7th International Research and Practice Conference “Nanotechnology
and Nanomaterials” (NANO-2019), held in Lviv, Ukraine, on August 27–30, 2019.
This event was organized jointly by the Institute of Physics of the National Academy
of Sciences of Ukraine, Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukraine), University
of Tartu (Estonia), University of Turin (Italy), and Pierre and Marie Curie University
(France). Internationally recognized experts from a wide range of universities and
research institutes shared their knowledge and key results in the areas of nanooptics and nanophotonics, nanoplasmonics, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, nanocomposites and nanomaterials, nanostructured surfaces, microscopy of nano-objects,
nanochemistry, nanobiotechnology, and nanobiotechnology for health care.
Today, nanotechnology is becoming one of the most actively developing and
promising fields of science. Numerous nanotechnology investigations are already
producing practical results that can be applied in various areas of human life from
science and technology to medicine and pharmacology. The aim of this book is to
highlight the latest investigations from different areas of nanoscience and to stimulate new interest in this field. Volume II of this two-volume work covers important
topics such as structural, morphological, magnetic, and photovoltaic properties of
nanostructures, achievements in the field of nanomaterials and nanocomposites, and
a new effect in nanoscale physics and its applications.
This book is divided into three sections: Part I—Nanoscale Physics, Part II—
Nanostructured Interfaces and Surfaces, and Part III—Nanocomposites and Nanomaterials. Sections covering Nanochemistry and Biotechnology, and Nanooptics and
Photonics can be found in Volume II: Nanooptics and Photonics, Nanochemistry
and Nanobiotechnology, and Their Applications.
The papers published in these five sections fall under the broad categories of
nanomaterial preparation and characterization, nanobiotechnology, nanodevices and
quantum structures, and spectroscopy and nanooptics. The book will help readers to
familiarize with current research and practical applications in nanoscience and thus
to promote further implementation of nanotechnologies into innovations according
