Abstract
Organic–inorganic nanosystems
Highlights
A natural goal of most nanoscience projects, independent of the specific subfield they belong to, is to create a system providing novel functions which originate from the properties of its constituent nanoscale parts
Much progress has been made during the last decade based on this idea of exploiting the self-organization of organic building blocks on top of inorganic supports, and a huge number of selfassembled structures have been prepared
In other cases, based on precursor loaded micelles or, more generally, colloids, the organic carriers are completely removed after their self-organization by various plasma treatments while the precursor compounds are transformed into metal oxides or, into metals
Summary
A natural goal of most nanoscience projects, independent of the specific subfield they belong to, is to create a system providing novel functions which originate from the properties of its constituent nanoscale parts. This article is part of the Thematic Series "Organic–inorganic nanosystems". The preparation of individual nanoobjects such as dots or wires of various materials is in principle possible, the analysis of their chemical and physical properties still poses a serious experimental challenge.
