PHYS 615 - Introduction to Nano-Physics and Nano-Structures

Credits: [3]

Description: Introductory survey of physics at the nanometer scale, exploring the physical basis of phenomena that appear when the linear dimension of an object or device shrinks below a micron. In addition, the course will discuss the experimental techniques used to construct and characterize nano-structures such as quantum wells, quantum wires, quantum dots, metallic and rare-gas clusters, C60 and carbon nano-tubes.
