LOW DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS AND NANOSTRUCTURES

  • The aim:

3

  • This course in intended to provide a general introduction to the most

important nanostructures in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, attending to their dimensionality (2D, 1D, 0D).

  • The most important phenomena emerging in low dimensional systems

will be described.

  • Finally special attention will be paid to carbon nanostructures, which

exist in all dimensions (diamond, graphite, nanotubes, fullerenes...).

  • Background:

LOW DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS AND NANOSTRUCTURES

  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Solid State Physics
  • Nanoscience: a historical perspective
