PHY 4845 - Nanoscience and Technology (3)

When Offered: Spring, Odd-numbered years
A survey of the current state of nanoscience and nanotechnology from both a theoretical and practical standpoint. Topics include, but are not limited to, nano-fabrication, tools (e.g. SEM, STEM, FIB, STM, AFM, etc.), nanomechanics, nanomaterials, Buckyballs and nanotubes, thin films, nano self-assembly, nano-scale heat transfer, thermoelectric devices, and nano-optics. Where applicable, content will be enhanced through direct experience with the available instrumentation.
Prerequisite: senior standing in Physics or Chemistry, or consent of the instructor. Demonstrated Readiness for College-level Math.
