Description of the Course
1. INTRODUCTION
- What is nanotechnology?
- The long way of science to nanotechnology and nanoengineering: a survey
- The current aspects of nanoengineering: towards terabyte hard drives
- Future aspects: Molecular motors and engines. Nano robots and nano machinery.
2. FOUNDATIONS
- The physics governing properties of objects on the micro- and nano-scale
- Principles of manufacturing nanometer scale devices
- Nature's strategy: biomotors based on proteins - something the human body already does
- Top-down approach: miniaturization of macro-world principles to ever smaller scales
- Bottom-up strategy: from synthesizing simple compounds consisting of a few atoms to nanoengines
- Examples of man-made nanostructures
- Properties of novel materials
- Strategies for visualization and object handling in the nano world
- Scanning probe microscopy (SPM)
- Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM)
- Scanning electro microscopy (SEM)
3. PROBLEMS
- From Micro to Nano: what's different
- Physical and societal limits of nano engineering
