21st Century Nanoscience – A Handbook

Editor

Klaus D. Sattler pursued his undergraduate and master’s courses at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. He earned his PhD under the guidance of Professors G. Busch and H.C. Siegmann at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. For three years he was a Heisenberg fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, where he initiated the first studies with a scanning tunneling microscope of atomic clusters on surfaces. Dr. Sattler accepted a position as professor of physics at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, in 1988. In 1994, his group produced the first carbon nanocones. His current work focuses on novel nano-materials and solar photocatalysis with nanoparticles for the purification of water. He is the editor of the ...
