Nanotechnology Engineering

The course aims to provide basic knowledge in the field of condensed matter physics, starting from the phenomena that marked the crisis of classical physics and then making particular reference to the basic physical principles and applications in the field of electronic devices. Expected learning outcomes: Knowledge and understanding (Dublin descriptor I): Understanding of the different models and their limits for the description of phenomena of solid state physics. Applying knowledge and understanding (descriptor II): Application of phenomena and their models to describe simple problems in solid state physics. Making judgements (descriptor III): Ability to evaluate which model is more suitable for the various problems of condensed matter physics being analysed. Ability to discriminate which type of materials is more suitable for specific applications. Communication skills (descriptor IV): At the end of the course the student must have acquired a good knowledge of the specific scientific terminology, in order to be able to clearly communicate their knowledge. Learning skills (descriptor V): At the end of the course the student will have the basic skills necessary for understanding more complex problems of condensed matter physics and solid state electronics that they will have to deal with in the subsequent courses of the degree course.
