Sources for further information
One of the most authoritative sources of information about this topic is
Handbook of Nanoceramics and Their Based Nanodevices. This is a five-
volume set, edited by Tseung-Yuen Tseng (National Chiao Tung University,
Taiwan) and Hari Singh Nalwa (Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology, USA), published in January 2009 (3500 pages, ISBN: 1-
58883-114-0, US$ 2999.00).
Another important source is the more general Handbook of Nanophysics,
a seven-volume work edited by Klaus D. Sattler and published in 2011 by
CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group (Hardback ISBN-978-1-4200-7540-
3).
Among the references mentioned in this chapter, the most important are
the founding papers by IIjima (1991) and Niihara et al. (1993).
Regarding internet interest groups, the very lively and active community
site called Nanopaprika is recommended (www.nanopaprika.eu).
