Description: NANOSTRUCTURE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY I ***** An introduction to the basic principles of nanoscience and nanotechnology size dependent physical properties of nanoscopic solids will be described using solid state physics and molecular orbital theory as a foundation. Wet chemical techniques that produce nanascale materials (e.g. carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals, dendrimers...) will be introduced in the second half of the semester.
