Fundamental Properties Of Nanostructured Materials — Proceedings Of The National School Of The Condensed Matter Group [PDF ebook] 

The purpose of this school, addressed to young researchers and graduate students (physicists, chemists and engineers), was to provide the basis of fundamental properties of nanostructured materials and an introduction to more specialized and up-to-date topics. The topics were remarkably interdisciplinary, covering theory, materials preparation, structural characterization, thermodynamic aspects and mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic properties.
