Abstract
This tutorial provides a broad perspective on the synthesis, characterization, and size-dependent dynamics of nanoscale materials. Synthetic strategies include bottom-up, top-down, and hybrid strategies in gas and condensed phases. Advances in imaging and structure analysis provide the spatial information to correlate dynamic phenomena to structure in complex nanocomposites. Excited-state dynamics can change with material dimensions due to changes in the properties of the host and due to unique nanoscale phenomena such as plasmon resonance in metals and quantum confinement in semiconductors.
