Nano-Ceramics

Introduction to nanotechnology, its emergence and challenges classification of nano-materials: Zero, one, two and

three dimensional nano-structured materials.

Synthesis of nano-particles through homogenous and heterogeneous nucleation, kinetically confined synthesis of

nano-particles synthesis of nano-wire, rod, tubes and thin films. Special nano-materials: carbon, carbon fulrenes

and carbon, nano-tubes, nano and microporous materials, core shell structure and nano-composites.

Electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of nano-structured materials.

Applications of naon-materials in molecular electronics, nano-electronics, catalysis, photoelectrochemical cells,

photonics, quantum well, quantum dot and quantum wire devices.
