This course is intended for beginning graduate students. The course will provide an understanding of the basic theory behind important nano-scale devices used in the electronics, display, and energy industries. In addition to a theoretical introduction, students will also be given take-home portable nano-labs. Through the completion of these labs, students will gain hands-on experience fabricating and characterizing a variety of working components and devices.
