Syllabus
 Background to Nanoscience:
Definition of Nano, Scientific revolution-Atomic Structure and atomic size,
emergence and challenges of nanoscience and nanotechnology, carbon age-new
form of carbon (CNT to Graphene), influence of nano over micro/macro, size
effects and crystals, large surface to volume ration, surface effects on the
properties.

 Types of nanostructure and properties of nanomaterials:


One dimensional, Two dimensional and Three dimensional
nanostructured materials, Quantum Dots shell structures, metal oxides,
semiconductors, composites, mechanical-physical-chemical properties.
 Application of Nanomaterial:
coating, molecular electronics and nanoelectronics, biological and
environmental, membrane based application, polymer based application,
Energy Devices, especially the solar cell, supercapacitors, batteries etc.

Learning outcome

 This course will focus on developing better understanding of


emerging low dimensional novel materials such as carbon
nanotubes, graphene and other than graphene based transistors
and developing models for designing of ultra-low energy
nanoscale-integrated electronic and nano-photonic circuits.
 On-chip VLSI interconnect based on carbon nanotubes, graphene
nanoribbon and hybrid materials will be introduced for possible
replacement of copper interconnect in nm CMOS technologies, as
part of applications.
