This course covers the theories and applications of materials with a length-scale of nanometers. The selected topics focus on phenomena spanning from nano-electronics to nano-photonics. Topics include: growth and fabrication of nano-size materials, applying quantum physics to semiconducting heterostructures and quantum dots, band theory and its application to photonic and plasmonic crystals, physics and applications of nano-photonics and plasmonics, and applications of perturbation theories to nano-electronics and nano-photonics. The contents may differ from year to year, depending on available expertise.
