Objectives
THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES AND AIMS TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENTS TO ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL ASPECTS OF SOLID STATE PHYSICS, AND IN PARTICULAR TO NANOTECHNOLOGIES BASED ON GRAPHENE AND CARBON NANOTUBES, AND TO SUPERCONDUCTIVE ELECTRONICS.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ON NANOMATERIALS AND NANODEVICES (MODULE 1) AND ON SUPERCONDUCTIVE ELECTRONICS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE DEVICE PHYSICS AND OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS (MODULE 2).

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO FABRICATE AND CHARACTERIZE NANOSIZED MATERIALS AND DEVICES AND TO USE ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION BOTH FOR THE FABRICATION AND THE ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT OF NANODEVICES (MODULE 1). THEY WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO CARRY ON SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS WITH SUPERCONDUCTIVE DEVICES, USING ADVANCED ELECTRONIC AND CRYOGENIC INSTRUMENTATION (MODULE 2).

Teaching Methods
SUPERCONDUCTIVE ELECTRONICS MODULE:
LESSONS ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE COURSE, VISITS TO SPECIALIZED RESEARCH CENTERS, LABORATORY ACTIVITY FOR THE REALIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SIMPLE SUPERCONDUCTIVE DEVICES

MODULE 2 GRAPHENE AND CARBON NANOTUBES DEVICE PHYSICS (3 CFU, A DI BARTOLOMEO)
LECTURES ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE COURSE
LABORATORY EXERCISES ORIENTED TO THE NFABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS AND DEVICES
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS IN AN ORAL TEST IN WHICH THE STUDENT
- REPORTS THE WORK DONE IN LABORATORY, POSSIBLY WITH THE AID OF A WRITTEN REPORT
- ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE CONTENTS OF FRONT LESSONS.

THE FINAL VOTE IS ESTABLISHED ACCORDING TO THE EVALUATION OF THE PRESENTED REPORTS AND THE EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ANWERS GIVEN.
