Course objective | The interactions between molecules, atoms and elementary particles that form the material begin to change at nano scales. As a result, the physical and chemical properties of the material change. The aim of this course is to teach the dominant interractions at the nano scale and show the physical and chemical changes in nanostructured materials to the ?Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine? students | |||||

Course Content | In the context of this course, the Schrodinger equation, which is used to explain special relativity, energy-mass transformations, wave-particle duality and wave properties of a particle, which are the basic concepts of modern physics, will be discussed. Subsequently, starting from the solution of the Schrödinger equation in restricted dimensions, the structure of single-electron, multi-electron atoms and how physical properties change in nanoscale (constrained size) materials with quantum effects. | |||||
