    7. Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge To study phenomena in organic and inorganic systems where the size of the structures are between a hundred and few million atoms (between 0.2 to 100 nm). The course has three main parts. The first part gives a theoretical background to the physics of nanosystems, including basic quantum mechanics and solid state physics and also problems related to downscaling. The second part, nanotechnology, discusses the physical properties of nanomaterials, their fabrication technologies and their application areas. The third part, nanometrology, introduces the nanoscale microscopy and spectroscopy methods.

    10. Assessment

    Mid-term period: successful fulfillment of one mid-term test.

    Exams period: written exam. 

    In the final grade the mid-term test is considered with 30% weight.

    11. Recaps Any of the mid-term exams might be re-taken during the supplementary week. There is no second supplementary test.
    12. Consultations Continuously, at times agreed with the instructor. Special consultation possible before the midterm test/exam if needed.
    13. References, textbooks and resources E-learning materials developed by the department that cover the whole course.
