PH-GY 5543 Physics of Nanomaterials and Graphene3 Credits
An introductory graduate course for science and engineering students on the basic properties, preparations and applications of Nanomaterials and Graphene. This course will emphasize forms of carbon, including graphitic carbon composites that are a leading structural material in aircraft; and diamond, carbon black, activated charcoal, carbon nanotubes and graphene. Review of the Schrodinger equation as applied to carbon atoms, to diamond, to graphite and to graphene. Trigonal planar bonding as distinguished from tetrahedral bonding. Methods of making graphene including chemical vapor deposition, exfoliation of graphite. Application of graphene as transparent conductor in solar cells and opto-electronic devices.
Prerequisite(s): PH-UY 2033 or Graduate Standing
