Tadaaki Tani
Reviews and Awards
"This book is important because it gives an overview of this field drawn from the history of photography and how it can be applied to emerging technologies such as catalysis, photovoltaics, and plasmonics. The author has worked in the photography industry for nearly 50 years and has a deep knowledge that is reflected in this book ... useful reference for researchers and graduate students" -- MRS Bulletin
"This book offers invaluable insights into understanding of the synthesis, properties and applications of silver nanoparticles. Great wealth of knowledge accumulated over several decades for silver halides is bridged to silver nanoparticles by the expert in both fields for the benefits of a wide range of researchers in nanoparticles and plasmonics." --Vladimir Kitaev, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
"This book offers a comprehensive review of silver and silver halide nanomaterials, including their preparation, optical properties, and their unique applications in photography, plamonics, and catalysis. It is also interesting to see the connection between silver and silver halide in these aspects. It is a very useful reference book on these two types of functional nanomaterials." --Younan Xia, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
"This book is unique in approaching the science and technology in plasmonics from the unprecedented viewpoint and should be recommended to those, who are anxious to promote the research on plasmonics with metal nanoparticles." --Hiroaki Misawa, Professor, Hokaido University, and The President of the Japanese Photochemistry Association
