Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Fundamentals of nanotechnology History of nanoparticles, Size Matters, etc.,

Basics Crystallography, Scattering Experiments, Electron Waves in Crystals, Superconductivity, Magnetism, etc.,

Techniques The ability to measure, image and characterize objects on the nanoscale is fundamental to all aspects of your training and research. This module will cover concepts in Light and Electron microscopy, Scanning Probe Microscopy, Optical Spectroscopy and diffractionbased techniques

This module will cover the fundamental aspects of nanomaterials. Properties of materials on the nanoscale are inherently linkedto their size and organization and you will learn about how size, surface area and forces on the nanoscale can give rise to a rich variety of different materials.

This module also will allow you to investigate the factors that affect the assembly of nanoscale templates and precursors and the formation of mesoporous materials. You will develop awareness of a range of mesoporous materials, their properties and their uses and applications.

Nano biomaterials is a multidisciplinary scientific area which, as the name implies, draws on Nanoscience, Biology and Materials Science. It is a rapidly growing field of research which is generating intensive interest from industry; applications range from biomedical implant surfaces and materials, tissue engineering, drug and gene delivery and encapsulation. Areas covered in this course will include the principles of selfassembly in biology; how we can use inspiration from the natural world to design and build nanoscale materials, and real-life applications at the interface between nanotechnology and clinical applications.

Nanotoxicology is concerned with the toxicity of nanoscale materials and objects. Nanoscale materials have unique properties because of their size; their ability to cross cellular and tissue barriers; their surface roughness, and their surface area/volume ratio, all of which lead to significantly higher chemical and biological activity. This course will cover: (i) how nanoparticles enter the body

Once material properties are understood and we have ways of characterizing these materials, how we use and process what we make is critical if we are to truly exploit the functionality of objects on the nanoscale. This module will discuss the engineering

This module will discuss the engineering aspects of semiconductor nanomaterials and provide background into device fabrication.
