Details: (NANO2212) Surface & Thin Film Analysis Techniques

Credits3
Lec/Lab/OJT2/1/0
PrerequisitePre/Corequisite: NANO2211 or higher coursework and consent of the instructor; minimum of a C grade in NANO2205
Course DescriptionThis is an intensive lecture course with hands-on analysis designed to expose students to some of the more common analysis techniques and the data-impact to nano-processing. Experimental data obtained by the student will provide direction to a "manufacturing" line and develop the nano-technician skill set from analysis to reporting to process impact. The course is designed to establish:
1. a basic understanding of theory behind, applications of and procedures utilized in the characterization of surfaces and thin films
2. minimum levels of competency in the proper use and care of the equipment as well as the proper methods utilized in the recording, analysis, and reporting of data.

Nanoscience is a field of scientific study which is cross disciplinary and encompasses the broad areas of chemistry, biology and physics, materials science and engineering. Nanoscience strives to understand the composition, structure, properties, and behavior of the molecules and atoms, which make up the material in our environment and newly created nano-materials. Nanotechnology is the purposeful design and production of a product at the nanoscale (or microscale), which has useful applications in our world.
