Course Description:
This seminar course will cover the fundamental characteristics and applications of nanoscale materials, with a focus on current primary research in the area. Students who complete the course will learn to describe the chemical and physical laws that govern material properties that depend on both the identity and the size of a material and how to apply them to metallic, semiconductor and polymeric materials. They will learn to evaluate the advantages and limitations of common methods used to synthesize or fabricate such materials. From those foundations students will learn about the unique electronic, mechanical, optical and biological properties of nanostructured materials and how to measure these properties. They will also examine technological applications that make use of those unique properties and the obstacles to implementation of these technologies. |
