Nanophysics : wave propagation, photonics, nanotechnologies

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):
-The fundamentals of wave propagation and quantum physics that are necessary for the understanding of modern electronic devices and analytical techniques
-The principle of analytical techniques commonly used in laboratories and the molecular mechanisms of quantum physics


The student will be able to:
-Formulate in his own words some nano-scale mechanisms and give concrete examples of micro and nano-devices together with well-known analytical methods using these mechanisms
-Master elementary phenomena of nano-scale physics
-Select the best method for a specific characterisation on the basis of the acquired concepts.
-Carry out some nano-scale characterisation methods
-Link mathematical formalism of quantum physics to real applications
-Grasp the necessary approximations that are required in quantum physics
-Bring together these different concepts to assimilate them, extract them from their
context in order to apply them to real situations
