On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Discuss the scientific basis for nanotechnology.
- Relate the nanostructure of a material to its properties.
- Describe top-down approaches to the preparation of nanostructures.
- Identify and describe physical principles and practical aspects of selected techniques for characterizing the nanostructure of materials.
- On the basis of a material's properties and requirements with respect to resolution, magnification and chemical speciation.
Written answers to selected assignments. These obligatory reports do not contribute to the final grading.
Laboratory exercises with written reports. The lab reports contribute to the final grading.
1. Written laboratory reports (25%)
The journal after each laboratory exercise is assessed on the basis of passed/failed. The laboratory part of NANO161 is assessed in the entirety of the laboratory journals based on the grading scale A-F.
2. 4h written exam (accounts for 75 % of the final grade).
Allowed aid during the exam: simple pocket calculator.
Mandatory activities are valid in two subsequent terms following the approval term.
