Advisory Prerequisite: Graduate standing and seniors by permission of instructor. Enforced Prerequisite: None. (3 credits) This course will focus on scientific understanding and computational techniques. Students will have the opportunity to develop a program to implement the methods to simulate nanostructure evolution. Topics covered include: configurational forces, formulation of migration, simulation of structural evolution, surface roughening, motion of thin film, composition modulation, electromigration and assembly.
