DescriptionGlobal economic demands and population surges have led to dwindling resources and problematic environmental issues. As the climate and its natural resources continue to struggle, it has become necessary to research and employ new forms of sustainable technology to help meet the growing demand. Sustainable Nanosystems Development, Properties, and Applications features emergent research and theoretical concepts in the areas of nanotechnology, photovoltaics, electrochemistry, and materials science, as well as within the physical and environmental sciences. Highlighting progressive approaches and utilization techniques, this publication is a critical reference source for researchers, engineers, students, scientists, and academicians interested in the application of sustainable nanotechnology.
Reviews and Testimonials
Contributors mostly from physical sciences but also from biological sciences review recent findings and current directions of research into sustainable nanosystems. Their topics include self-organizing carbon structures: tight binding molecular dynamics calculations, effects of spin-orbit interaction on optical properties for quantum dots and quantum wires, up-converting nanoparticles as promising markers for biomedical applications, graphene and fullerene clusters: molecular polarization and ion-di/graphene associations, and some scientific and ethical issues around developing sustainability.
– Protoview Reviews
The book discusses the directions of developing nanosystems based on carbon. The book is well organized and very detailed in the subject that is discussed in every chapter. [...].
It's highly recommended to researchers in the field of nanotechnology with a strong background of physical and chemical sciences because of the interesting topics and areas that are discussed. The book could have been more detailed in some chapters and more detailed introductions could have been added to make it easier for readers in the field of nanotechnology with minimal background or deep knowledge of chemistry and physics. The book would have been very interesting if it contained more on how these valuable researches can be applied in building nano-systems, so that the ideas would be transferred from deep and theoretical science to an applied and tangible one. [Recommended for] researchers in the field of nanotechnology with a strong background of physical and chemical sciences.

Mihai Putz (Ed.)
Mihai V. Putz is a laureate in physics (1997), with an MS degree in spectroscopy (1999), and PhD degree in chemistry (2002), with many post-doctorate stages: in chemistry (2002-2003) and in physics (2004, 2010, 2011) at the University of Calabria, Italy, and Free University of Berlin, Germany, respectively. He is currently Associate Professor of theoretical and computational physical chemistry at West University of Timisoara, Romania. He has made valuable contributions in computational, quantum, and physical chemistry through seminal works that appeared in many international journals. He is Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Chemical Modeling (at NOVA Science Inc.) and the New Frontiers in Chemistry (at West University of Timisoara). He is member of many professional societies and has received several national and international awards from the Romanian National Authority of Scientific Research (2008), the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD (2000, 2004, 2011), and the Center of International Cooperation of Free University Berlin (2010). He is the leader of the Laboratory of Computational and Structural Physical Chemistry for Nanosciences and QSAR at Biology-Chemistry Department of West University of Timisoara, Romania, where he conducts research in the fundamental and applicative fields of quantum physical-chemistry and QSAR. In 2010 Mihai V. Putz was declared through a national competition the Best Researcher of Romania, while in 2013 he was recognized among the first Dr.-Habil. in Chemistry in Romania. In 2013 he was appointed Scientific Director of newly founded Laboratory of Structural and Computational Physical Chemistry for Nanosciences and QSAR in his alma mater of West University of Timisoara, while from 2014, he was recognized by the Romanian Ministry of Research as Principal Investigator of the first degree at National Institute for Electrochemistry and Condensed Matter (INCEMC) Timisoara, and also becoming full member of International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry.
