Nanoscale science and technology are experiencing a rapid development, and they are likely to have profound impact on every field of research in the first decade of the 21st century. The governments and enterprises of developed countries are investing a lot of funds for nanotechnology research. Nanoscale science and technology link many fields. There are large quantities of unknown phenomena in the fields of mesoscopic physics, nanochemistry and nanobiology.nanochemisty will face to the systems with limited atoms, molecules and ultrafine particles (i.e., clusters), and is related to chemical synthesis, self-assembled systems, self-organization growth, and so on. Nanomaterials usually show unique properties through nanoscale size confinement, predominance of interfacial phenomena and the quantum effect. Therefore, by reducing the dimension of a structure to nanosize, many inconceivable properties will appear and may lead to different applications. Research in nanomaterials is a multidisciplinary effort that involves physicists, chemists, materials scientists, electrical engineers, biological and, possibly, medical scientists.It can be predicted that an upsurge of R&D on nanotechnology will soon come, and giving the course of nanomaterials to students is just in time.The content of this course includes: the synthesis of nanocrystal materials, aiming at describing the principles and approaches of the synthesis techniques, processing controls and the outcoming quality of the nanomaterials using chemical and physical techniques; the techniques used for characterizing nanomaterials, aiming at describing the physical mechanism, data interpretation and detailed applications for characterizing nanomaterials to understand the morphology, surface and the atomic level microstructures of nanomaterials; nano functional materials and their applications. The objective is to show the characteristics, unique properties and applications of nanomaterials.主要参考资料：
