Abstract

In this chapter a survey will be given on the variety of “bottom-up ” and “top-down ” synthesis techniques for nanostructures focusing first to structures of different dimensionality such as nanocrystals, nanowires, and nanolayers including shape control and more complex nanostructures. After the preparation of bulk nanocrystalline systems the synthesis of carbon nanostructures is discussed with a subsequent overview of nanoporous systems. Finally, the present development of lithography, which is of outstanding importance for the computer industry, will be presented.
