APSC 732 - Thin Film Deposition and Nanostructure Synthesis

Spring 3 Prerequisite(s): APSC 525, APSC 607 or consent of instructor.

An advanced discussion of thin film and nanostructure formation techniques at a level commensurate with an advanced graduate course. The course content will focus on the fundamentals of the techniques rather than discussing currently available commercial technology. Topics covered will usually include evaporation, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and laser ablation. Some sections may be switched for other topics based on class interest.
