This Course Will Provide Each Student An Exposure To Semiconductor Nanoparticles

This course provides an exposure to semiconductor nanoparticles and nanoclusters, their properties, and applications. The course objectives are to review how semiconductor nanostructures enable efficient devices and illustrate the precise control of semiconductor devices. The course is divided into 4 modules that cover topics like properties of semiconductor nanocrystals, different band gap semiconductors like SiC and GaN, diamond-like carbon semiconductors, and quantum concepts of nanostructure-based devices. Assessment includes continuous assessments, midterm exams, viva exams, and an end term examination.
