Michael Zehetbauer is Professor for Materials Physics at the University of Vienna, where he heads the section on "Nanocrystalline Materials". His research focuses on severe plastic deformation of metals and the characterization of ultrafine grained and/or nanocrystalline structures by X-ray and synchrotron radiation. He was organizer of the Second International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation, held in Vienna in 2003.Yuntian T. Zhu is Professor in the Materials Science and Technology Division at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. His work concentrates on processing and characterization of bulk nanostructured materials and he is also active in research related to carbon nanotubes. Yuntian Zhu was co-organizer of four symposia on ultrafine grained materials.

"This comprehensive book on BNM has very good technical depth and is filled with data, illustrations, graphs, photographs, and very detailed descriptions. It is sure to be the standard reference book on BNM. As such, it would be an excellent choice for any researcher working in the field of nanotechnology." (IEEE Electrical Insultaion Magazine, April 2010) “This book will be of interest to advanced academic audiences and, in a more general way, scientists/engineers in the field. Summing Up: Recommended." (CHOICE, October 2009)
