Nano Technology (CM-603 (C))
VI-Semester
Unit - I
Supramolecular Chemistry
Definition and examples of the main intermolecular forces and in supramolecular chemistry. Self-assembly process in organic systems. Main supramolecular structures.
Unit - II
Physical Chemistry of Nano Materials
Students will be exposed to the very basics of nanomaterial; A series of nonmaterial that exhibit unique properties will be introduced.
Unit - III
Synthesis of Nonmaterial
Methods of Synthesis of Nonmaterial. Equipment and processes needed to fabricate nano devices and structures such as bio-chips, power devices, and opto-electronic structures. Bottom-up (building from molecular level) and top-down (breakdown of microcrystalline materials) approaches.
Unit IV
Biological Nanotechnology
Biologically- Inspired Nanotechnology, basic biological concepts and principles that may lead to the development of technologies for nano engineering systems. Coverage will be given to how life has evolved sophisticatedly, molecular nano scale engineered devices, and discuss how these nano scale biotechnologies are far more elaborate in their functions than most products made by humans.
Unit - V
Nano Instrumentation
Instrumentation for nano scale Characterization. Instrumentation required for characterization of properties on the nano meter scale. The measurable properties and resolution limits of each technique, with an emphasis on measurements in the nano meter range.
