Welcome to "Introduction to Nanotechnology" course....

This course will introduce the "state-of-the-art" in nanotechnology The material taught requires an interdisciplinary approach by combining basic ideas from materials science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics. Particularly, issues related to novel nanostructured carbons (fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene, etc.) and their applications in technologies will be addressed. Structure control at the nanoscale and effects of structure on properties will be discussed. Characterization methods in nanotechnology (AFM, SEM, TEM, and nanoindentation) will be covered. This course will also provide an introductory overview of MEMS.
