Aims/Description: This course introduces nanostructures (free-standing nanoobjects or assemblies of these, or nanopores in porous materials), and methods of nanopatterning. There isparticular emphasis on non-carbon-based nanotubes, composite nanotubes,nanowires and belts. Also considered are 3-D framework nanostructures,including zeolitic nanoporous and mesoporous materials, and opal and inverse opal structures, and composite nanomaterials generated from these porous materials. The nanopatterning methods introduced concentrate on focused ionbeam and focused electron beam technology.
