Course content
The course will focus on current trends in nanoscale device technology with special focus on functional electronic, photonic and magnetic properties in nanostructured materials. The academic focus is: one-electron transistors and one-electron electronics, effect of 1 and d-dimensional structures on photon and electron transport properties, magnetoelectronics and spintronics, and nanophotonics and photonic device based on nanoscale materials.
Learning outcome
The course shall give the student a thorough introduction to modern trends in nanoscale device technology, with focus on functional electronic, photonic and magnetic effects in nanostructures. Single electronic devices, nanophotonic devices and spintronics are of special interest. The curriculum will enable the student to analyze applications within ICT with focus on nanoscale device technology.
Knowledge:
- Understand how electronic and optical properties is effected by nanostructuring - Understand basic terminology and results from theory of single electron systems, nanophotonics and spintronics.
- Knowledge about architecture of simple nanoscale devices.
- Knowledge about typical applications of such systems.
Skills:
- Combine previous obtained knowledge in mathematics, solid-state-physics and semiconductor physics to analyze devices at the nm level.
- Use basic theory for single electron systems, nanophotonic and nanoscale magnetic systems to solve problems within nanoelectronics.
General competence:
- Collaborate to solve exercises.
- Orally present results of own studies.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, excercises, student seminars (mandatory student presentation in order to be able to take the exam), and self-study. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
