Xiaosheng Fang obtained his PhD from the Institute of Solid State
Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2006 under Prof. Lide
Zhangs supervision. Currently, he is a professor in the Department of
Materials Science, Fudan University, China. Prof. Fang has authored
or co-authored 62 refereed journal publications, 11 review papers,
an English monograph, and 4 book chapters. His publications have
been cited over 1,800 times. His current research topic is controlled
fabrication, novel properties, and optoelectronic applications of
novel nanostructures, especially with a focus on IIVI inorganic
semiconductor nanostructure-based optoelectronic sensors. A
recipient of many awards and recognitions, Prof. Fang is on the
editorial advisory boards of several international journals.

Theres plenty of room at the bottom, the principles of physics, as far as I can see,
do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom, put the
atoms down where the chemist says, and so you make the substance. . . . What I
want to talk about is the problem of manipulating and controlling things on a small
scale. With immense foresight, the legendary physicist Richard Feynman made
this famous statement at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in
1959. In less than half a century, this prospect has been realized by the consistent
efforts and significant contributions of the scientific community across the globe.
Now, not only is research on the nanoscale among the most active fields in current
science, but it is also being gradually introduced into our daily lives. The purpose
of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive review of the state-ofthe-art research activities in the field of innovative nanomaterials. This book is an
authoritative and thorough introductory text on the syntheses, characterizations,
novel properties, and applications of various innovative nanomaterials. Whereas
the first part discusses the chemical and physical approaches used for the syntheses
of various innovative nanomaterials, the second focuses on the many applications
of several nanostructured materials.
