Functionalized Inorganic Fluorides: Synthesis, Characterization
& Properties of Nanostructured Solids covers several
classes of nanostructured and functionalized inorganic fluorides,
oxide-fluorides, and fluorinated oxides such as silica and alumina.
Ranging from powders or glass-ceramics to thin layers and coatings,
they have applications as more efficient and less aggressive
catalysts, UV absorbers, planar optical waveguides, integrated
lasers and optical amplifiers, luminescent materials,
anti-reflective coatings and high Tc superconductors.
With a focus on new types of solids, such as nanopowders, hybrids, mesoporous fluorides, and intercalation compounds, the book covers new synthesis routes; physical-chemical characterizations - including morphology, structure, spectroscopic and optical behaviour; detailed ab initio investigations and simulations; and -last but not least- potential applications.
