NANS1001 Fundamentals of Nanoscience (6 op)

The Fundamentals of Nanoscience course is taught by specialists from fields of physics, chemistry and biology. Introduction of the general ideas and concepts of nanoscience such as fundamental couplings, significance of charges and electromagnetic radiation in nanoscale, as well as nanofabrication. Topics include physical, chemical and biological aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

After passing this course the student

• have an overview about interdisciplinary nanoscience involving fields of physics, chemistry, and molecular and cell biology.

• recognizes the effects of a restricted size and the main properties of common nano-objects.
  

• understands the fundamentals of the theoretical and experimental techniques in nanoscience.

• knows how to fabricate nanoscale materials and devices using methods from different disciplines and combining them

• understands how the major phenomena, such as different couplings, charges and EM-radiation appear in nanoscale in different disciplines and what is the connections between them

• has a clear picture about scientific literature in nanoscience

• can provide short concise presentations from various themes in nanoscience 

Bachelor level knowledge from physics, chemistry and/or biology.
