Module title:Nanostructures and Graphene Science
Module codePHY3064
Module lecturers:Prof. M.E. Portnoi
Module credits:15

In this module students work in groups to prepare presentations for the whole class and follow this by working individually on their own reports, which comprise the majority of the assessed components. The fundamental physics learned in previous core modules on quantum mechanics, solid-state and statistical physics, is used as a basis to describe and explain the operation of devices that exploit both quantum phenomena and the unique characteristics of graphene. As well as demonstrating the application of physics to technology, the module also provides a grounding that will be useful for careers in the electronics and photonics industries.

Please note that all modules are subject to change, please get in touch if you have any questions about this module.
