What is NANO? • In 1960, the U.S. National Bureau of Standards adopted the prefix "nano-" for "a billionth". • Millimicrometer(millimicron) • mµ • µµ
What is NANO? • The nanoscopic scale is sometimes marked as the point where the properties of a material change; above this point, the properties of a material are caused by 'bulk' or 'volume' effects.
What is NANO? • Iron has ferromagnetism properties .
What is NANO? • 'surface area effects' become more apparent
What is Nano-Materials? • Matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres.
Nano-Materials • Nanosheets
Nano-Materials • Nanoneedles
Nano-Materials • Nanoparticles
What is Nanotechnology? • National Nanotechnology Initiative(INN) • The manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres.
What is Nanotechnology? • Richard Smalley • Nanotechnology is the art and science of building stuff that does stuff at the nanometer scale.
History • Richard Feynman • American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. • There's Plenty of Roomat the Bottom.
History • Possibility of direct manipulation of individual atoms as a more powerful form of synthetic chemistry than those used at the time. • Molecular Nanotechnology
History • K. Eric Drexler • Gray goo • Ecophagy
History • Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC)
That Bit of Chemistry and Physics You Just Have to Know • Bonding atoms with electrons • Covalent Bond
Turning on the light • Light & NANOtech
Light & NANOtech • Photon • Light is made up of itsy-bitsy particles, too small for anybody to see.
Light & NANOtech • Isaac Newton • light is essentially a streamof particles
Light & NANOtech • Wave theory • light had properties similar to a wavelike electric field traveling with a wavelike magnetic field.
Light & NANOtech • light can behave in both ways — as a particle and a wave — it depends on the situation. To describe light traveling from one place to another, we call on ideas from the wave model. When you talk about light interacting with matter on the atomic level, Albert’s photons come into play — and into nano-research.
Light & NANOtech • Wavelength
Light & NANOtech • Light frequency • Hertz (Hz) per second.
Light & NANOtech • C = f * λ • C (Light velocity): 299 792 458 metres per second≈ 3 × 108 m/s • f: frequency in cycles per second • λ: Wavelength in meter
Light & NANOtech • Wavenumber (spatial frequency) • The number of waves that exist over a specified distance (cm)
Light & NANOtech • Kicking out a photon
Light & NANOtech • At the atomic level, all excited atoms are emitting photons.
Light & NANOtech • A wire designed to let its atoms heat up till they generate light.
Light & NANOtech • Studying things that small requires special, deviously clever instruments that measure certain properties of matter — for example, spectrometers
