Hi Hitesh,

If you search for the books or papers authored by 'Mildred S. Dresselhaus' there would be good options to learn characterization techniques and different aspects of nanomaterials.

Hugh J Byrne

It depends on why you wan to characterise them. The Nanotoxicology community have previously reported:

“Minimal analytical characterization of engineered nanomaterials needed for hazard assessment in biological matrices”, Hans Bouwmeester, Iseult Lynch, Hans J. P. Marvin, Kenneth A. Dawson, Markus Berges, Diane Braguer, Hugh J. Byrne, Alan Casey, Gordon Chambers, Martin J. D. Clift, Giuliano Elia, Teresa F. Fernandes, Lise B. Fjellsbo, Peter Hatto, Lucienne Juillerat, Christoph Klein, Wolfgang G. Kreyling, Carmen Nickel, Michael Riediker, Vicki Stone, Nanotoxicology, 5, 1-11 (2011)

Callister's "Materials science and engineering" a worthy book to read.
