Metamaterials
Through the investigation of the theoretical aspects of engineered composite materials, the course analyzes the innovative concepts used by state-of-the art devices. Examples of applications of metamaterial-based devices are illustrated and deeply analyzed. In particular, artificial impedance surfaces, innovative radiating structures and EM absorbing surfaces are presented.
Computational Nanoelectronics
Multi-scale approaches will be introduced, for the investigation of the physical properties of conventional (Silicon, III-V semiconductors) as well as new materials (graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc.) for electron devices. In particular, we will discuss atomistic models and associated numerical methods for the evaluation of the main mechanisms at play in carrier transport. Such an approach will be exploited to eventually assess device performance against industry requirements.
