Assessment criteria of knowledge

Oral exam with a seminar based on selected paper
Capacità

Gli studenti acquisiranno conoscenze dettagliate sulle proprietà strutturali,elettroniche e ottiche di naostrutture e sulle tecniche utilizzate per la misura di queste proprietà. Gli studenti saranno in grado di comprendere le  principali fenomenologie sperimentali osservate e di disegnare nuove nanostrutture aventi  proprietà elettroniche desiderate.
Skills

Students will gain a detailed knowledge of the structural, electronic and optical properties of nanostructures. They will learn about the techniques to measure these properties. They will be able to understand the main experimental phenomenologies observed and design novel nanostructures with desired electronic properties.
