Chemistry of Nanomaterials

Catalog description

This course will cover several aspects of nanomaterials including synthesis and processing of small particles, as well as their characterization by crystallography, scanning tunneling microscopy magnetism, and other optical properties. Also studied will be the application of quantum confinement to the electronic and optical properties of nanomaterials and the development of photonic materials. The nanostructure of organic polymers, micelles, and the process of biomineralization to make organic-inorganic hybrid materials will also be discussed. Credit Hour s : 3
