Processes of Formation of Micro-and Nanodisperse Systems

This work covers the physical processes and phenomena leading to the formation of disperse materials and their properties. Special attention is given to homogeneous condensation of metal vapours in expansion of metal vapours in vacuum, heterogeneous condensation of metal vapours on solid substrates in the presence of impurities with the formation of disperse condensates, and flow in thin films and their decay. The book describes applications including production of composites of nanodisperse metals in an organic matrix and methods of fine cleaning of gases contaminated with micro- and nanoparticles.
