OVERVIEW

The course is an introduction to the actual research in the field of nanotechnology.

It is known that many properties of the matter changes if it is confined in the nanometer scale. Today there is a big interest in the field since the technological relapses, already applied in many commercial products, are important in many fields, from energetics to mechanics
