The course is divided into two parts that are introduced through concepts, examples and exercises:
A. Mechanics of nanosystems and nanomaterials
- Mechanical characteristics of materials
- Nanomechanics of individual nanomaterials: nanotubes, fullerenes, nanocrystals
- Nanomechanics of assembled nanomaterials: from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems (nanocomposites)
- Production of nanomaterials by mechanical means
B. NEMS and MEMS
- MEMS in everyday live
- NEMS Fabrication. Nanofab. Resonators
- RF Switch MEMS
- NEMS of low dimensional systems
