This course aims to acquaint the students with new concepts for
high rate synthesis and processing of nanostructures, fabrication
methods for nanomaterials and devices, and assembling them into
nanosystems and then into larger scale structures of relevance in
industry and in the medical field.
Students will develop an understanding of size and structure/property
relationship in materials
Students will get acquainted with ultra-miniaturized top-down and
bottom-up processes.
Students will cultivate understanding about the capabilities and
limitations of nanomanufacturing, and interrelationship among technical
and economic factors involved in manufacturing
Students will understand the importance of nanotechnology in the future
endeavors of humanity
Content of the
Course
Fabrication of metallic nanomaterials, manufacturing of carbon based
nanostructures, Nanostructured Systems from Low-Dimensional Building
Blocks, Characterization techniques and manufacturing methods,
