Nanochemistry

Catalog description

This course covers the synthesis, characterization and physical properties of materials chemistry systems on the length scale of individual molecules. Emphasis is placed on the distinction between macro- and nanoscale properties of matter. Course topics to include (but not limited to): quantum confinement in semiconductor nanocrystals; localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), superhydrophobicity in self-assembled monolayers; electronic and mechanical properties of 2D materials
