NANO53 Course Overview NANO 53 Foothill College
Overview Course goals Instrument rubric Industry scenario based curriculum Alphabet soup PNPA integration Assignments / grades Your instructor
Course Goals Learn about characterization tools What tools for what types of materials? How does industry use these tools? Where can you get these services? Preparing yourself for integrated nanomaterials engineering (PNPA) Understanding nanomaterial safety issues
Instrument Rubric What is the physics of the instrument? What information is provided? What types of materials are analyzed? What industries use these tools? To answer what types of questions?
Industry Scenarios Semiconductors and electronics Magnetic media / storage Biomaterials / biomedical devices Thin films / optics Advanced materials (composites etc.)
Alphabet Soup Image AFM, SEM, TEM Surface AES, XPS, SSIMS Organic FTIR, GCMS, HPLC, NMR Chemical/Elemental ICP, XRF Structure XRD, TEM, LEED Data management and safety LIMS and MSDS
PNPA - Characterization Processing (P) Properties (P) Characterization (N) Nanostructure PLOs – Program Learning Outcomes – Integrated Materials Engineering Process Structure property relationships => Fabrication property relationships => <= Nanostructure elucidation <= Process tools / QA/QC monitoring Fabrication property relationships => <=  Properties determination
Assignments / Grades Weekly writing assignments Midterm / final writing / project In class participation Lab demonstrations Vocabulary (in class) quiz
Lab Tours Nanolab Technologies Stanford SNL (Gabelle) TEM/AES NASA-ASL FE-SEM TTEM
Guest Speakers Lab scientist / analyst Failure analyst Authenticity testing Materials researcher Product development
In Class Projects Nanocarbon Carbon Nanotubes Quantum dots Biomedical devices CIGS/CIS/CdTe Your material?
Your Instructor Robert D. Cormia [email_address] 650.949.7456 Office is 4129 (next to the AFM lab) Office hours / lab demonstrations  Typically Monday afternoon (after senate) TBA – arranged for NASA-ASL etc http://fgamedia.org/faculty/rdcormia/NANO53
