Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the lecture is to transfer to the students the current knowledge concening the physical basis of nanotechnologies, familiarize the students with physical phenomena in the nanoworld and how the physical properties change upon decreasing the size of a material; dependence of physical features of (nano)materials on their dimensionality.
Define basic terms in the field of physical basis of nanotechnologies, describe main approaches when studying physical properties of systems in the nanoworld, demonstrate the understanding of various issues and apply the acquired knowledge for solution of model problems.
