Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Nanomaterials

Catalog description

Presents the fundamental electronic, optical and magnetic properties of nanoscale materials and material systems as derived from underlying atomic, molecular and electronic configurations. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these properties vary between different types of materials and how they can be tailored for specific nanotech applications (e.g. optoelectronic and photonic devices, transistors, LEDs, magnetic storage devices and solar cells). Course will include selected experimental spectroscopic, electrical and magnetic measurements/demos on prototypical nanoscale material or device systems. Prerequisite(s): A MAT 311 or A MAT 215, N SCI/N ENG/I NSC/I NEN 140.
