PHYS 789 Seminar - Nanoscale Devices
With the advent of nanotechnology, quantum physics has expanded beyond the study of "fundamental" systems into the realm of device engineering. The design, fabrication and performance analysis of nanodevices rests squarely upon quantum mechanical concepts and calculations. The am of the course is to expose students to the concepts, techniques and phenomena linked with the development of this new technology. The level of the course is such as to benefit graduate students who are conducting, or planning to conduct, research on such topics or in related areas.
