60401 Nanomaterials

6cp; 6hpw

Requisite(s): (33190 Mathematical Modelling for Science AND (68201 Physics in Action OR 68037 Physical Modelling OR 65201 Chemistry 2C) AND 60302 Scanned Probe and Electron Microscopy)

This subject contains two complementary strands. The first deals with methods for producing nanostructures, nanostructured materials and nanoscale devices, using deposition, growth and self-assembling processes. The second uses real-world examples to demonstrate how the unique properties of these materials can be tailored for a wide range of applications from novel building materials and medical prothestics to the next generation of electronic devices. This subject forms the core of material for Stage 4 nanotechnology students and builds upon the material presented in 60302 Scanned Probe Microscopy and Electron Microscopy.
