Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to
- explain basic criteria for classifying nanomaterials and distinguishing them from other materials (k1/k2);
- describe the properties of nanomaterials (quantum effects, electronic properties, morphology, etc.) (k2/k3);
- explain and apply methods for the fabrication of nanostructures and their characterization, using various microscopy techniques (k2/k3);
- explain applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials (k2/k3).

During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas of nanoscience and nanomaterials:
- fundamental properties and types of nanostructures, such as nanocrystals, van der Waals materials, quantum dots, nanowires, graphene, nanotubes, etc.;
- quantization and electronic properties of nanostructures;
- band structure and density of states;
- mechanical properties;
- characterization methods, such as atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy;
- fabrication methods such as growth, chemical synthesis and lithography;
- applications.
