The aim of this course is to give students a concept of what it is and what constitutes nanotechnology, how to produce and how to measure it, and the knowledge when can be expected to use it in engineering practice. The lectures are focused on introduction to physics and chemistry of nanomascale, the basics of crystallography, surface properties, phenomena expected for nanocrystals and their applications. Next topics are focused on instrumentation enabled to observe and measure the nanobjects as, STM microscope, AFM microscope, electron and optical microscope technique. Further lectures are focused on production methods as, stabilization of nanoparticles, formation of nuclei and the crystal growth, nanowires, thin films, photo and X-ray lithography, electron and ionic machining, nanomanipulation. Final lectures intoduce few most common materials as fullerenes, nanotubes, nanodiamand, polymer nanocomposites, metal oxides and its application.
