Preface
Nanotechnology has opened up a new area of research in different fields.
Advantages are as many as to overcome disadvantages. The present collection
intends to describe the applications of electron paramagnetic resonance
(EPR)spectroscopyintheareaofnanomaterialcharacterization.Ihaveusedallthe
three names in the title of the book for the technique, viz, electron magnetic
resonance (EMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron spin reso-
nance (ESR). Logically EMR includes the terms EPR and ESR. Most of the
availablebooksonEPRgenerallyinvolvemathematicsandquantummechanics.It
posesahurdlebeforethescientistsfromotherdisciplines.Ihavetriedtoavoidthese
mathematical details to make this collection more meaningful for readers from
different disciplines.
This book contains two parts. First part deals with nanomaterials and their
classification. Second part deals with EMR characterization of nanomaterials.
Chapter “Nanomaterials and their Classification” by Cristina Buzea and Ivan
Pacheco is an excellent attempt to acquaint the reader with the nanomaterials and
highlights their physico-chemical properties. Chapter “A Brief Manifestation of
Nanotechnology” by Sharda Sundaram Sanjay and Avinash C. Pandey comple-
ments Chapter “Nanomaterials and their Classification” and includes applications
based classification. A section on magnetization dynamics of nanomaterials which
is covered in this chapter provides a link to the second part on EMR characteri-
zation of nanomaterials. Chapter “An Overview on Advances in the NanoCarriers
Drug Delivery Systems” by Anjana Pandey gives an overview of the recent trends
of nanocarriers drug delivery systems which have attracted the attention of the
scientificcommunityduetoseveraladvantagesovertheconventionaldrugdelivery
systems.
Applications of EMR spectroscopy covered in second part of the book deal
basicallywithtwodifferentcategoriesofnanomaterials—metallicnanoparticlesand
metal oxide nanoparticles. Chapter “EMR of Metallic Nanoparticles” by Siavash
Iravani deals with EMR of metallic nanoparticles. Chapter “Electron Spin
Resonance Applied to Nanosized-Doped Oxides” by Cesare Oliva and Marco
Scavini covers the ESR of nanosized doped oxides. Chapter “EPR Studies of

I am grateful to Prof. Ram Kripal, Head, Department of Physics, University of
Allahabad who has introduced me to the language of EMR research. I sincerely
thankSwatiMeherishi,PublishingEditor,Springerforgivingmeanopportunityto

About the Editor
Dr. Ashutosh Kumar Shukla has obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc., and D.Phil. degrees
from the University of Allahabad.
His talks on science have been regularly broadcasted on the radio. He has been
working to popularize science among the masses through his published science
articles on issues of general interest. He has received many scholarships and fel-
lowships including National Scholarship, Scholarship of Ministry of Higher
Education, Government of UP, Research Fellowship of Council of Science and
Technology, Lucknow, UP, Research Fellowship of Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research, New Delhi and Indian National Science Academy-Bilateral
Exchange Fellowship.
During his doctoral work he focused on electron spin resonance spectroscopy
and optical absorption spectroscopy to investigate transition ion doped single
crystals. In addition to his exposure to the available CW-ESR spectrometers at
leadinginstitutesofhisowncountrylikeNationalPhysicalLaboratory,NewDelhi,
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and Bhabha Atomic Research Center,
Bombay, he has hands-on experience with modern CW and pulsed ESR spec-
trometers at several leading international laboratories including the University of
Dundee, Scotland, University of St. Andrew’s, Scotland and Kazan State
University,Kazan.ESRcharacterizationofrareearthmanganitesandnanomaterials
are his current interests.
