About this course
Graphene is the world’s first 2-dimensional material and is the
thinnest, strongest, and most flexible material known to exist.
Graphene, a special form of carbon,,can conduct electricity and heat
better than anything else. In this electronics course, we will introduce
you to the exciting world of graphene science and technology. You will
learn about the fundamentals of graphene and how this material
offers new
insights into nanotechnology and quantum physics.
You
will also learn about emerging practical applications for graphene.
Topics covered include material properties, electronics, physics,
physical chemistry, synthesis and device fabrication and application.
Grap
hene offers a wealth of potential future applications; in composites, solar cells, sensors, superchargers, etc. The list is endless. This course takes a closer look at the particular potential graphene offers within electronics, e.g. optoelectronic devices using graphene produced via chemical vapor deposition (CVD), an industrially compatible technique.
This course content was developed at Chalmers University of
Technology who is the coordinator of the Graphene Flagship, EUs biggest
research initiative ever. At the Chalmers Graphene Centre research and
industry cooperate in the field to achieve interplay and synergies.
In order to benefit fully from this course you should have an
adequate knowledge of general physics and university level mathematics.
