MICRO-NANO DEVICES AND MATERIALS FOR ELECTRIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC APPLICATIONS

Course objectives

The course provides the instrument for the design of micro- and nano- devices for electrical and electromagnetic applications. This includes nanomaterials, nanostructures, nanocomponents. It is expected that the student at the end of the course will: - understands teminology of physics. - deal with a complex problem, introducing the appropriate approximations - be able to understand with low of physics he needs to apply to solve a given problem. - be able to understand the limitation of the models used in the design - be able to work in group - be able to work in a lab- knoledge in the electromagnetics - basic knowledge in condensed matter and quantum mechanics - capability to design an electrical/EM micro/nanodevice according to specification
