Description Nano system is known as a functional system for doing a task in which nanomaterials are used. Nano systems are explained in this course.
Overview
Nano systems are known as multifunctional systems engineered at nanoscales. Distinctive physicochemical properties with massive prospects in therapeutic and diagnostic applications distinguish this kind of systems.

Nanomaterials are chemical substances or materials that are synthesized and used at nanoscales. Nanomaterials are developed for exhibiting striking features in comparison with the same materials without nanoscale features; features such as increased strength, chemical reactivity, conductivity and magnetic.


Booklet
Description
 It classifies magnetic materials based on their source and magnetic behavior. So, five classes are obtained: diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and ferromagnetic. Then it explains each of these classes. In this way it introduces and explains some concepts that are needed to get familiarized with different magnetic properties of materials.
Mental Challenge
 What is the source of different magnetic materials?
Quizzes and Activities
 Activity: find schematics of electrons and spins arrangement under magnetic fields for different classes of materials (based on magnetic properties).
