Nanoscale Fabrication and Characterization credit: 3 or

4 Hours

This course will provide a practical understanding of state-of-the-art, nanoscale fabrication and characterization approaches, and the fundamental principles behind these advanced techniques. Topics include top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication, characterization of structures smaller than the wavelength of light, quantum properties of nanomaterials that these techniques probe, and applications at the forefront of nano-research. Two-dimensional materials will be the case study of the broader challenges and opportunities of making and using nanoscale systems. Prerequisite: Any of ME 330 , CEE 300 , PHYS 460 , MSE 304 , ECE 340 , CHEM 442 , or equivalent; Recommended: PHYS 214 or equivalent.
