PHY 290 - INTRO TO NANOTECHNOLOGY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Physics

Description:

Nanotechnology is the study of fabricating and manipulating matter at the scale of individual to a few atoms and molecules with typical structures ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. With relentless miniaturization, nanotechnology is the inevitable technology of the future. This course will present the fundamental paradigm shifts implicit in taking conventional technology to the nanoscale, with focus on the dominant role of quantum mechanics and discrete structure of matter and radiation. With that background as a basis, the course will continue on to a comprehensive survey of the specific applications-based segments of nanotechnology, including novel nano-materials, nanoscale circuits and devices, lower dimensional structures, and molecular devices.
