Long Title: NANOSCIENCE AND NANOTECHNOLOGY I

Department: Chemistry

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: 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 nanoscale materials (e.g. carbon nanotubes, semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals, dendrimers...) will be introduced in the second half of the semester.
