Aim: Nanomaterials consisting of small grains of diameter 1-100 nm, often have novel properties, differing from those of the corresponding bulk materials. They have been put into wide use, e.g., in catalysis and magnetic recording media industry, and also have a promising future in electronics and sensors. The course aims to give the student an overview of different methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials and of several characterisation techniques. Detailed sample preparation processes are given for several methods that have been widely used or have been put special interests.
Contents: In the first four weeks, an introduction of nanoscience and seven lectures on various synthesis and characterisation techniques will be given in Wednesday morning. From the fifth to thirteenth week, students will be divided into groups (two students for one group) and engage in three laboratory projects. Each project takes three weeks, which is composed of sample synthesis, characterisation, and a report. An oral presentation at the end will be arranged.
