Preparation of Nanomaterials and Devices

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Preparation of Nanomaterials and Devices
Leerdoelen	At the end of this course students should be able to: - describe different preparation techniques of materials, the principles on which they are based, and their limitations LO1 - apply the device fabrication techniques in the laboratory LO2 - evaluate the outcome of laboratory experiments in written reports LO3 - discuss the different preparation strategies for the fabrication of a given nanodevice or nanomaterial LO4 - interpret the signals of the fabrication process LO5 - calculate the proper amounts of material, required pressure conditions, and other parameters needed to perform the successful preparation of a given nanomaterial LO6 The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the most relevant preparation techniques for nanomaterials and devices, through a combination of lectures, hands-on laboratory experience, and data analysis. It is part of the framework of the core courses also including characterization of nanomaterials (WMNS009-08) and the fundamental and functional properties of nanomaterials (WMNS010-11). The course treats state-of-the-art methods available for the preparation and fabrication of nanomaterials and nanodevices. The preparation methods have their origin in chemical, physical, and bio-inspired techniques. Part. Lecturer(s) (second examiner(s))/mode(s) of assessment: 1. Kamperman, Katsonis (Katsonis resp.

Entreevoorwaarden	The course assumes prior knowledge acquired from the nanoscience Guided Self-study (WMNS003-06) which contains the basics of organic and inorganic chemistry, solid state physics and quantum mechanics. This course is part of the framework of the core courses also including characterization of nanomaterials and devices (WMNS009-08) and the fundamental and functional properties of nanomaterials and devices (WMNS010-11). The course unit prepares students for Review Paper (WMNS011-06), and Small research project and symposium (WMNS007-13), of the topmaster nanoscience in which the learning objectives attained are recommended as prior knowledge. Assessment criteria and method for determining the final mark of the course unit: • The weights of the five lecture parts (for the final grade) are given in the course overview. • Written exams: the final mark is based on the number of correct answers. The grade is given by the equation: 1+9*score/maxscore. Marks for individual exam parts are not rounded off. • Report: Has to be handed in before a given deadline and is graded based on the proper description of the experiment and the correctness of the presented interpretation and evaluation of the experimental outcome. • In case of a resit for a written exam the lecturer may decide to give an oral exam. In that case: Oral exam: the final mark is based on the number of correct answers and the quality of the discussion. The oral exam is documented using the nanoscience oral exam grading form. • To pass the course the final mark should be 5.5 or higher in all parts individually. If a partial exam was not done the mark for the exam will be counted as a 0. Should the average be higher than 5.5, but one or more parts of the exam not passed the final mark will be 5 or less. The final mark is rounded to the closest half mark, with the exception of the mark 5.5, which is not used. In case the assessment has to take place online, the written exams will be adjusted to online written exams from home.
