Lagae Liesbet (coordinator) | Lagae Liesbet | Sorée Bart | Verreck Devin Aims
This course presents an advanced package of information on trending new nanoelectronics inspired components in the broadest sense. The course aims to create a thorough understanding of he operational characteristics of nanoelectronic devices including charge based devices (e.g. single electron, quantum based) and non-charged based devices (e.g. photonics, spintronics, MEMS and bioMEMS). The course starts from the fundamental physical principles from quantum mechanics, statistical physics, electro- and thermodynamics. The theoretical analysis is illustrated with recent advances in nanoelectronic components and circuits.
