3. Course Objectives

Nanochemistry deals with syntheses of various nanomaterials and nanostructures and the characterizations thereof. This class intends to address fundamentals on syntheses and applications of nano-sized structures that include organics, semiconductors and metals. Introduction to nanochemistry will be lectured as beginning from the unique properties accompanied at nanometer scales to covering quantum chemical phenomena and chemical bond formations and syntheses in nanoscales.
