Course Topics
|
| The course provides a hands-on experience for graduate students in sciences (physics, chemistry) and engineering (electrical, chemical, materials), as well as advanced undergraduates, to analyze electronic structure and transport properties of basic classes of carbon, semiconductor, and magnetic nanostructures explored at the current research frontiers.
|
- Nanostructures in equilibrium: graphene and other two-dimensional materials, carbon nanotubes, topological insulators, magnetic multilayers.
- Nanostructure out of equilibrium: conductance quantization, quantum interference, spin-dependent tunneling, spin and quantum Hall effects, spin-transfer torque, I-V curves.
- Theoretical techniques: elements of density functional theory (DFT), Landauer-Büttiker scattering formalism, nonequilibrium Green function techniques.
- Experimental techniques: scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy.
- Applications: nanoelectronics, spintronics, thermoelectrics.
