Course - Chemical Methods for Synthesis and Characterization of Nanomaterial, Specialization Course - TMT4515
Chemical Methods for Synthesis and Characterization of Nanomaterial, Specialization Course
New from the academic year 2010/2011
About
About the course
Course content
The course contains module courses at NTNU NanoLab within a selection of the following topics/techniques:
Health environment and security at NTNU NanoLab, SEM, AFM
Particle synthesis and characterization, Thin film deposition and characteization of thiin film, Functionalization of surfaces, FIB basic course, E-beam lithography.
Learning outcome
After completion of this course, the students should be able to on their own to use a selection of state-of-the-art experimental techniques for synthesis of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials with emphasis on using chemical methods. The students should master selected methods for the characterization of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. The selected methods should be relevant for the Project specialisation and Master thesis within nanotechnology.
Learning methods and activities
Teaching will be in the form of module courses given by NTNU NanoLab. The module courses will consist of three parts: theoretical presentation of the function and principles for the instrumentation, practical demonstration as well as a practical test. The students will be offered the theoretical presentation of all the topics/techniques given under Academic content. For a selection of the experimental techniques of relevance for the project specialisation and Master thesis, the practiacal demonstration and practical test will be given as well. Approved practical test is necessary to be able to use the instrumentation for the Project specialisation and Master thesis.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is a part of the curriculum for Nanotechnology study program. Students enrolled in other study programs are also admitted however the course is limited to those students who will need access to NTNU NanoLab in their Specialisation project or Master thesis.
