Abstract

Physics of non-regular nanosystems is a branch of physics dealing with nanoagents – nanoparticles when non-regular nanosized morphological characteristics predetermine the nature and essence of physical phenomenon (nanophenomenon). In particular, multiple technological interfaces of nanoparticles with morphologically regular systems imply a creation of micro- or mesostructures with essential nanodimensional effects (e.g. in various schemes of functionalization of nanocarbon systems, viz. carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), graphene nanoflakes (GNFs), carbon-based nanoaerogels and nanofoams, etc.). However, classes of nanomaterials, in addition to nanocarbon systems, can be essentially expanded now. There are nanotube structures based on boron nitrides (BN), TiO2, chalcogenides (As-S, As-Se, As-Te, etc.) and many others. Such nanosystems should also be considered as non-regular.
