Course Details.
Course : Material Synthesis: Quantum Dots To Bulk Crystals.
All device fabrication is preceded by material synthesis which in turn determines material microstructure, properties and device performance. The aim of this course is to introduce the student to the principles that help control growth. Crystallography; Surfaces and Interfaces; Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Mechanisms of Nucleation and Growth of Crystals ; Applications to growth from solutions, melts and vapors (Chemical vapor deposition an Physical vapor deposition methods); Stress effects in film growth.
Instructors : Prof. Srinivasan Raghavan and Prof. Pavan Nukala
TA : Yeswanth Pattipati
