Description The term nanoelectronics refers to the use of nanotechnology in electronic components. These components are often only a few nanometers in size. This course is allocated to nanoelectronics.
Overview
Nanoelectronics consist of a diverse set of devices and materials in small size. Physical effects alter materials' properties in nanoscale – inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties play a significant role in the function of these devices. Quantum effects such as tunneling and atomistic disorder dominate the characteristics of these nanoscale devices.

On the other hand, researches on improvements of electronics such as display, size, and power consumption of the device for practical use is known as nanoelectronics. This includes research on memory chips and physical surface modifications on electronic devices.


Booklet
Description
 It firstly gives some basics of nanomaterials including their definition and classify and history. Then it talks about quantum dotes, their properties and definition. Then it talks about why the properties get so important in quantum dots. It again talks about density of state. It then talks about how crystal structure can be changed and its application.
Mental Challenge
 What is a quantum dot in a more specific expression?
Quizzes and Activities
 Activity: Prepare an assay on how quantum dots can be synthesized.
