Nanosciences

The nanoscience field of study is designed to prepare the students with nanoscience knowledge in any materials field, from metal and metal oxides, carbon nanomaterials, nanocomposite and others. Nanoscience studies matter, particles, and structures at the nanometer scale, including atoms and molecules. It explores how these interactions lead to unique properties different from those observed in microscale materials due to quantum mechanics. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are noteworthy for their exceptional optical, electronic, magnetic, and electrochemical properties. Carbon nanomaterials, like carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graphene oxide, are gaining prominence as emerging nanomaterials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a type of porous crystalline materials made up of metal ions linked by organic ligands, offer a fascinating class of nanomaterials with numerous potential applications. Various cutting-edge techniques will be employed to analyse and characterise nanomaterials, including microscopy and spectroscopy techniques as well as thermal analysis. These characterisation techniques help understand and exploit nanomaterials' unique properties for diverse industrial applications.
