Nanostructured Materials

Catalog description

Description: Size and shape dependence of material properties at the nanoscale. Interaction, surface energy, functionalization, binding, and immobilization of nanostructures. Top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication, atomic processes and self assembly. Lithography, thin fills, functional coating, Langmuir-Blodgett films, layer-by-layer growth. Properties, applications and synthesis of well-studied building blocks; quantum dots (semiconductor nanocrystals), carbon nanostructures (nanotubes and fullerenes), semiconductor nanowires, metal nanoparticles and nanowires.
