Course Overview

Physics of Nanoscale Devices Certification will introduce students to the basic physics of novel miniaturized i.e mesoscopic and nanoscopic devices.

Physics of Nanoscale Devices Classes would start from the basics of quantum mechanics and equip the students to delve into advanced topics in nanoscale devices. Devices that were thought to be beyond the reach of engineers can now be fabricated in new ways. The crucial factor has been the development of newer techniques by which extremely narrow rods, or nanowires, of a semiconductor can be formed.

All students get a Physics of Nanoscale Devices Certification by Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) under the Swayam Initiative by Government of India.

What you will learn

Knowledge of electronics

Students enrolling for the Physics of Nanoscale Devices Certification Course covers the important properties of nanomaterials and their synthesis methods because the behaviour of electrons in these devices is radically changing as the device size decreases. As a result, a more fundamental understanding of these devices' electrical characteristics is required.

Physics of Nanoscale Devices Training helps students comprehend the phenomena monitored is even more crucial because of how dominant their effects are and how significantly the magnitude of the underlying energetics and reaction has changed. Electronics Engineering Certification Courses will teach you more about this.

After completion of this Physics of Nanoscale Devices Certification, the learning outcomes includes:

Recognize the influence of dimensionality of the object at nanoscale on their properties
Understand size and shape controlled synthesis of nanomaterials
Explain the future applications in various industries

Who it is for
