The goal of the course is to introduce students to nanoscience, which is rapidly developing as a promising science and technology of the future. It intermixes physics, chemistry, biology, and life science on the nanometer scale. These small systems behave differently from the large giving rise to many new properties. These new properties have a big potential in practical applications and have a large influence on future computer engineering, electronics, communication, medicine, transportation, bioengineering, food and life science. The tasks of this course is to give a broad overview of current research directions and efforts in nanoscience making an accent on nanotechnology and nanophysics, to learn characterize the change of physical and chemical properties of bulk materials and nanomaterials, to apply the knowledge experimentally, in solving theoretical problems and describing the commercial applications of nanomaterials. The course is taught in Latvian.
