Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of Multifunctional Nanomaterials covers major techniques for the design, synthesis, and development of multifunctional nanomaterials. The chapters highlight the main characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning probe microscopy. The book explores major synthesis methods and functional studies, including:

- Brillouin spectroscopy;
- Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic studies;
- Magnetic, ferroelectric, and magneto-electric coupling analysis;
- Organ-on-a-chip methods for testing nanomaterials;
- Magnetron sputtering techniques;
- Pulsed laser deposition techniques;
- Positron annihilation spectroscopy to prove defects in nanomaterials;
- Electroanalytic techniques.

This is an important reference source for materials science students, scientists, and engineers who are looking to increase their understanding of design and fabrication techniques for a range of multifunctional nanomaterials.
