21st Century Nanoscience A Handbook: Design Strategies for Synthesis and Fabrication (Volume Two)

About

Klaus D. Sattler pursued his undergraduate and masters courses at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. He received his PhD under the guidance of Professors G. Busch and H.C. Siegmann at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. He was at the University of California Berkeley for three years as a Heisenberg fellow where he initiated the first studies of atomic clusters on surfaces with a scanning tunneling microscope. Dr. Sattler accepted a position as professor of physics at the University of Hawaii Honolulu in 1988. In 1994 his group produced the first carbon nanocones. His current work focuses on novel nanomaterials and solar photocatalysis with nanoparticles for the purification of water. He is the editor of the sister references Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook (2016) and Silicon Nanomaterials Sourcebook (2017) as well as Fundamentals of Picoscience (2014). Among his many other accomplishments Dr. Sattler was awarded the prestigious Walter Schottky Prize from the German Physical Society in 1983. At the University of Hawaii he teaches courses in general physics solid state physics and quantum mechanics.
