Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to provide the fundamentals of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, the preparation of nanostructured materials and their characterization, as well as the possible applications and industrial implications.
At the end of the course, students will have knowledge of what concerns the vast world of nanosciences and nanotechnologies, and in particular of some specific examples regarding the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials and their application implications.
Prerequisites and basic notions
No specific prerequisites are required, other than basic knowledge of the chemistry/physics of materials.
Program
The course will be held in the second semester of 2024.
The course will be organized in the following main areas:
- introduction to nanosciences and nanotechnologies;
- synthesis of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials;
- characterization of nanostructured materials;
- application examples.
Part of the course will be held by Prof. T. Del Rosso, NanoLaser Lab, Dept. of Physics - Univ. PUC Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), visiting professor at Univ. Verona.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
During the course, the open dialogue with students will ensure that all follow and understand the lessons.
The contents will be presented using a Power Point presentation prepared by the teacher and given to the students so that they can follow the lessons.
A few samples of luminescent materials and LED sources for demonstration purposes will be shown.
Learning assessment procedures
There is no exam.
Assessment
Not expected.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Not expected.
