Course Objective

This course covers engineering challenges in molecular electronics, molecular electronic computing architectures, nanoelectronic circuit architectures, nanocomputer architectronics and nanotechnology, architectures for molecular electronic computers, spintronics-spin-based electronics, a quantum device success, molecular conductance junctions: a theory and modeling, modeling electronics at the nanoscale, resistance of a molecule, nanomanipulation: buckling, transport, and rolling at the nanoscale, nanoparticle manipulation by electrostatic forces, biologically mediated assembly of artificial nanostructures and microstructures, nanostructural architectures from molecular building blocks, nanomechanics, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, design and applications of photonic crystals, nano- and micromachines in NEMS and MEMS, contributions of molecular modeling to nanometer-scale science and technology. At least two term-projects will be given and evaluations will be used for measuring the success of the students.
