NS 203 - Characterization of Nanotechnology Structures and Materials

Credit Hours: 3

This course will introduce students to the following topics: characterizing Nanotechnology materials with light or physical properties; photon-based spectroscopies; characterization based on electron beams; probe characterization techniques; and particle-based spectroscopies.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

demonstrate an understanding of light-based characterization and spectroscopies;
demonstrate an understanding of electron-based characterization and spectroscopies;
apply industry-standard photon-based, electron-based, probe microscopy, chemical and mechanical characterization equipment to Nanotechnology materials; and
effectively and safely work as a member of a technical team in a laboratory setting.
