CHEMISTRY445: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AT THE NANOSCALE

Offered Spring 2003 and Spring 2004. This course is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Students will have opportunities to learn why nanoscience is important and interesting, to be trained on advanced instrumentation (NSOM, STM, AFM, SEM), and to participate in some of the business aspects of these emerging nanotechnologies.

 

Nanoscale Systems
Nanoscale Characterization
Devices and Nanotechnology

 

 

Note: The laboratory training was supported by a Northwestern Hewlett Fund Grant (2003) and the NSF NSEC at Northwestern University (2004).
