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.
As a supplement to the lecture, there will also be some guided tours, e.g. to the 2D Materials Group at the Getreidemarkt.
Dr. André Gazsó from the Institute for Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences will give a guest lecture on his work on the NanoTrust project.
This lecture is a pioneer lecture in the field of Extended Reality "XR in Teaching" at the Physics Department of TU Wien.
