Abstract

This chapter shortly summarizes the history of chemical research related to size-dependent properties of materials from the early days of colloid chemistry to recent nanotechnologies. It is highlighted how electrochemical methods gained a role in processing of the nanosystems, making electrochemistry-based nanomanipulation methods an important part of the tool kit of today’s nanotechnology. The structure of the major part of the entire book and its topics are shortly presented.

Acknowledgements

The author thanks the series editor, Prof. Fritz Scholz for the invitation to write this book as well as the tight supervision of the manuscript, the improvement of which was greatly due to the careful editorial guide.

The author is to acknowledge Dr. Imre Bakonyi for the two-decade-long cooperation and the immense personal help offered during this period. The author is particularly grateful to Dr. Bakonyi for the introduction to various fields of solid-state nanoscience and for the ceaseless instigation for accurate and comprehensive work.

This work could not be born without the supportive work environment of the author, including the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as a whole and in particular, the Wigner Research Centre for Physics (by the time of the publication of this book, a part of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network). The service of the librarians of the latter institute was invaluable for collecting the literature background of the present book.

And last but definitely not least, the author must express his deepest acknowledgement to his family. Being patient and tolerant with a family member who works as a scientist is hard in general, but it is particularly challenging when this scientist is engaged in a work that lasts years. Thank you for the immense lenience it required.
