CONTENTS

The course deals with the physical properties of nanostructured materials and their synthesis and applications. A general introduction to AI and its applications in nanostructured materials-based electronic devices will also be presented. The course is accompanied by journal club and scientific projects. The following topics are discussed:

·         Introduction to nanostructured materials and nanotechnology

·         General introduction to low-dimensional systems

·         Nanostructuring via top-down and bottom-up techniques (electron beam lithography, optical lithography, scanning probe techniques, vapor-liquid-solid...)

·         Nano/microelectronic devices and microelectromechanical systems

·         Novel low-dimensional materials and their application in sensors

·         Novel gas sensors and biosensors

·         Imaging and characterization techniques 

·         Principles of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) 

·         Machine learning and their applications

·         Journal club 

·         Scientific projects

·         Lab courses
