Interfaces and Materials in Micro & Nanotechnology II

Interfaces and Materials in Micro & Nanotechnolgy II 

The module gives an introduction on various physicochemical concepts that are of relevance in applications in microsystem devices and nanotechnology to describe a) chemical surface and interface phenomena and b) physical and material properties of soft-matter (and specifically on polymers) and c) . 

deals with the micro- and nanoscale materials (such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides), their engineering challenges and how to overcome them. It discusses (material) properties emerging at the nanoscale, atomic and molecular self-assembly as well as the concepts of bottom-up and top-down synthesis, the behavior of optics (plasmonic) and magnetism at the nanoscale.
