Properties of Microheterogeneous Systems 1.1 Introduction Excluding phenomena in which very high energies are involved, ordinary matter can be treated as an ensemble of a limited number of some invariant constituents: nuclei and electrons These quantistic particles self-assemble according to their mysterious capability to interact with each other, thus forming a potentially inWnite number of systems ranging... Crystals 15 that in bulk systems Some of these deviations can be attributed to the inherent large Xuctuations in the number of reagent species when they are conWned in nanoscopic space18 In the Weld of chemical kinetics, a well-known application of the peculiar properties of microheterogeneous systems is micellar catalysis19 It is also worth noting that many biological reactions occurring in nature are... considered that some of these interactions are always attractive independently of the molecular orientations such as ion-induced dipole, dipoleinduced dipole interactions, and dispersion forces Dispersion forces, also called induced dipole–induced dipole interactions, arise from the correlated Xuctuations of the electron density of neighbouring molecules determining on average instantaneous dipoles . mixed nanoparticles formed by two or more components or nanoparticles with peculiar shape: . core-shell nanoparticles . doped nanoparticles . sandwich nanoparticles . hollow nanoparticles . spherical,. multifaceted nanoparticles or to the physicochemical phenomenon employed to stabilize nanoparticles against their spontaneous unlimited growth: . charging of nanoparticles . coating of nanoparticles.
