Introduction to Nanoscale Materials
This course introduces students to the field of nanoscale materials. Nanoscale materials have chemical and physical properties that are significantly different from those of bulk materials. At the end of the course, students should be able to appreciate the underlying principles of the resulting size-dependent properties and the processing and fabrication of these materials at the molecular level. The course will cover the structure and properties of a variety of nanoscale materials. In addition, it will cover the synthesis and assembly of nanoscale materials based on top-down and bottom-up approaches. The major and potential applications of nanodevices made from nanoscale materials will also be discussed.
