Course description and aims

Summary: Students will learn basics and practical procedures of characterization methods such as scanning probe microscopies for surface and interface structures and properties reaching to nanoscale, which are fundamental approaches in functional nano-materials chemistry research field.
Aim: Students will understand the state-of-the-art Chemistry including molecular and atomic manipulation and single molecular detection.
Through this course, by understanding of the limit of nanotechnology, students will realize the limit of present science and discuss more about new insight and research directions in functional materials chemistry.

Student learning outcomes

Target: Students will understand 1) emergence of properties and functions of chemical materials from the nanoscale in individual molecules and atoms. Furthermore, students will learn 2) state-of-the-art nanotechnology and characterization methods of those materials from nanoscale, and consider new approaches to materials chemistry.
Theme: This lecture will provide students with opportunities to understand history and progress of nanotechnology and how students use those methods in their research subjects.
