Overview

Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through the control of matters on an atomic or molecular scale. This is a broad and interdisciplinary area of research and development that has been growing explosively worldwide in the past few years. It has the potential for revolutionizing the ways in which materials and products are created.

This course introduces new concepts and novel issues that arise when describing ultra-small devices.
