Characterization, Fabrication, and Manipulation at Nanometer Scale

Credits: 3

Lecturer: Dr. Chang, Chia-Seng 張嘉升教授

Classroom: P101 Meeting Room, IoP

Class hour: Thursday, 14:10-17:00

Course Objectives:

This course intends to familiarize students with some standard methods and techniques employed in current research related to nanoscale characterization, fabrication and manipulation.  The emphasis, besides given lectures, has also been placed on the student’s ability to apply the acquired knowledge to studying a recent relevant article and to present it to the audience at an understandable level.

 Papers Study:

  1. A number of relevant papers are selected from publishing journals.
  2. Each student should choose 3 papers with preference order and send it to the instructor (jasonc@phys.sinica.edu.tw) within two weeks.
  3. Upon the reception of a student’s choice, the instructor will assign the paper to the student based on her/his preference. However, in case the paper has been chosen, the student will be assigned with the paper on the following order.
  4. The student should study the assigned paper and prepare a power-point file for presentation toward the end of this course.

Grading:

  1. Midterm Written Exam (45%)
  2. Presentation and report (55%)

    A. Presentation (30minutes, 40%)

    Students should prepare power-point slides from the paper assigned in the beginning of this course, and present them in a way that is understandable to their classmates. The suggested format is 20 min for presentation and 10 min for answering questions from the audience.
