Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Nanostructures may define by its dimensions as one dimension, two dimension and three dimensions based on quantum confinement effects. Nanostructures are made of nanoparticles using atom by atom or electron arrangement with the help of deposition and lithography techniques. This chapter briefly describe about nanostructured materials, approach towards nanostructured materials and various types of nanostructural materials.
