Preface of Series Editor
Current chemical and electrochemical literature abounds in titles referring to nano,
and so one may ask, why another book dealing with nano structures? I hope that the
readers of this monograph will agree when I claim that this book is something else,
that it is really written to support the scientific community for a long time. Although
the innovation rate in the area of nanostructures is very high both with respect to
synthesis and characterization, there will remain a solid body of knowledge, which
is presented in this monograph. It is a big advantage of this monograph that it is “from
one mould”, and not a collection of reviews from many different authors. The author,
László Péter from the Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Budapest, Hungary, is
a distinguished electrochemist with long experience in electrochemical plating and
nano-structuring of surfaces. He is also a highly gifted lecturer and teacher, which
allowed him to give this book a remarkably didactic character. This monograph attests
to his encyclopaedic knowledge of the literature, which he is able to overview and to
disseminate among a wide scientific audience, not only to specialists, but also to the
uninitiated, not only to electrochemists, but also to any scientists interested in nano
structures.
