After successful completion of the course, students are able to identify nanostructures, to describe the micro- and nano fabrication, to list their applications, to summarise the research fields nano tribology and nano mechanics as well as to justify the applications of monomolecular films.
This lecture gives a basic introduction to the field of nanotechnology. We will deal with nanostructures, micro- and nanofabrication, micro- and nanodevices, scanning probe microscopy (with demonstrations), nanotribology and nanomechanics, monomolecular films, industrial applications as well as social and ethical implications.
