Characterization, Fabrication, and Manipulation at Nanometer Scale

Credits: 3

Lecturer: 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.

Grading: final score

1. Midterm Written Exam (40%)
2. Presentation and report (60%)

A. Presentation (30minutes, 45%)

Students should prepare power-point slides from the paper assigned at 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.

B. Report (at most two pages, 15%)

Each student should write a report on:

1. The paper assigned at the beginning of this course, including a) synopsis of the paper and b) what can be further studied from this paper.
2. Afterthoughts and feedbacks about her/his presentation and the whole course.
