Course content
With the upcoming of nanotechnology, there are many new types of materials with unique properties due size limitations (quantum confinement). This led to several discoveries like superparamagnetism. Macroscopic objects and devices, when scaled down to a mesoscopic size, start revealing quantum mechanical properties. Since the development of graphene and its derivatives, there is a world-wide effort to understand the exciting new properties of such materials, to find new types of materials, and new applications are discussed.
This class will present the various preparation technologies and characterization techniques of 0-dimensional (0D, nanodots, nanoparticles), 1D (nanowires, nanotubes) and 2D (atomic sheets) materials like graphene and its derivatives, and the underlying fundamental physics (quantum confinement) to understand the scaling effects. Based on recent publications, also the possible applications of these materials are discussed.
