Introduction to the Modern Nanotechnology
The aim of the course is a basic acquaintance with the concepts and approaches used in the field of nanomaterials design, fabrication and analysis. The course examines the physical basis of modern nanotechnology from the standpoint of semiconductor physics and quantum mechanics. The range of issues covered includes nanosystems classification by dimension, consideration of "bottom-up" and "from top down" approaches, examples of nanomaterials and nanosystems properties changes, the basis of practical device fabrication technologies for electronics, microwave photonics and photovoltaics, as well as the most important techniques for nanomaterial and device characterization.
