CH-633: Advanced Solid State and Surface CharacterizationState-of-the-art surface/thin film characterization methods of polycrystalline/nano/amorphous materials. Selected topics from thin film X-ray diffraction (GIWAXS, GISAXS, PDF), electronic and optical spectroscopy (XPS, AES, SERS, TERS), scanning probe and electron microscopy (STM, AFM, HRTEM, SEM).
PHYS-407: Frontiers in nanosciencesThe students understand the relevant experimental and theoretical concepts of the nanoscale science. The course move from basic concepts like quantum size effects to hot fields such as spin transport for data storage applications (spintronics), carbon electronics, or nanocatalysis.
MSE-360: Polymer science + TPIntroduction à la physique des polymères et aux liens entre structures chimiques et propriétés macroscopiques, avec accent sur la morphologie et le comportement thermomécanique. Méthodes de mise en œuvre, fournissant les bases nécessaires à la sélection des polymères dans un contexte industriel.
MSE-352: Introduction to microscopy + Laboratory workCe cours d'introduction à la microscopie a pour but de donner un apperçu des différentes techniques d'analyse de la microstructure et de la composition des matériaux, en particulier celles liées aux microscopies électronique et optique. Le cours comprend des cours ainsi que des démonstrations.
ChE-430: Nanomaterials for chemical engineering applicationThis course aims at understanding classical and non-classical nucleation theory, at reviewing different techniques for the synthesis of nanomaterials (mainly nanoparticles and thin films) and at learning about some key applications of these nanomaterials in chemical engineering
EE-519: Bioelectronics and biomedical microelectronicsThe course covers the fundaments of bioelectronics and integrated microelectronics for biomedical and implantable systems. Issues and trade-offs at the circuit and systems levels of invasive microelectronic systems as well as their eluding designs, methods and classical implementations are discussed
MICRO-530: NanotechnologyThis course gives the basics for understanding nanotechnology from an engineer's perspective: physical background, materials aspects and scaling laws, fabrication and imaging of nanoscale devices.
MICRO-428: MetrologyThe course deals with the concept of measuring in different domains, particularly in the electrical, optical, and microscale domains. The course will end with a perspective on quantum measurements, which could trigger the ultimate revolution in metrology.
