Advanced materials exhibiting novel properties with increased functionality are the future of technology. These materials have the potential to improve people’s quality of life as well as to make affordable sustainable materials a reality. This new book, Advanced Materials for Next-Generation Technologies: Challenges and New Prospects, presents an enlightening insight into the advances in materials with special reference to their structure, physical behaviors, and applications.

This book sheds light on the organizational and orientational order of the atoms responsible for characteristics and distinct architectures in these materials. It also discusses how the materials can be maneuvered for attaining structural optimality. It explores novel materials for new technologies that make use of their interesting and exciting properties, such as electronic band structure, band gap, half-metallicity, multi-feroic behavior, piezoelectricity, thermoelectricity, thermodynamics, optoelectronic behavior, and more.

The book details novel materials for applications in frontier areas, discussing perovskites as promising materials for the future technology. It also discusses synthesis protocols for the design and development of some novel materials, spinel material synthesis and its structural analysis, green synthesis of metal oxides, etc. The book explores the property profiles of the materials for behavioral change, discussing materials such as ZnO nanostructures, ternary iron arsenide CaFe2As2, Cs-based halide double perovskites etc., and presenting a comprehensive pool of information on the latest advancements in this growing field.

The book will be of interest to researchers, academicians, and scientists in the field of materials science and technology, computational physics, industrial technology, and related fields.
