Nanoinformatics (1st ed. 2018.)

This title brings out the state of the art on how informatics-based tools are used and expected to be used in nanomaterials research.

There has been great progress in the area in which 'big-data' generated by experiments or computations are fully utilised to accelerate discovery of new materials, key factors, and design rules.

Data-intensive approaches play indispensable roles in advanced materials characterisation. 'Materials informatics' is the central paradigm in the new trend. 'Nanoinformatics' is its essential subset, which focuses on nanostructures of materials such as surfaces, interfaces, dopants, and point defects, playing a critical role in determining materials properties.

There have been significant advances in experimental and computational techniques to characterise individual atoms in nanostructures and to gain quantitative information.
