ABSTRACT
The data analysis and quantification strategy are emphasized during synthesis of nanoparticles in order to explain the material properties effectually. Not all, but a cluster of inevitable material characterizations are being encountered and discussed. After reading this chapter, quantification of the phase transformation temperature, specific heat capacity, enthalpy, kinetics and activation energy of crystallization, X-ray and electron diffraction pattern indexing, lattice spacing and strain, crystallite size, theoretical density, imaging, particle size phenomena, surface area, and spectroscopic data can be done. The effect of nanoparticle size and processing conditions are also highlighted and eventually explored the probable research scope in nanostructured ceramics.
