Learning outcomes
Specifically, the 3 CFU program of "Nanoelettronica" in the
""Sensori & Nanoelettronica" course will be devoted to the
principles of sensor transduction that happens at microscopic and
nanoscopic level. The student will learn the basic transduction
principles gaining insights of the main laboratory instruments for
both biotechnology and ICT applications.
NOTE: the course is complementary and independent from the first
part of the course "Nanoelettronica" held by prof. Fiegna and
particularly focused on the issues of Bioengineering.
Course contents
The course is aimed at giving the main theoretical instruments to
understand the sensor transuction at microscale and nanoscale
level. The contents will then be used in the context of protocols
and instruments for biomedical and ICT laboratories.
NOTE: the course is complementary and independent from the first
part of the course "Nanoelettronica" held by prof. Fiegna and
particularly focused on the issues of Bioengineering.
- Photon-electron transduction. Photon interaction with matter. Quantum efficiency and spectral sensitivity.
- Ion-electron tranduction. Metal-liquid interface and interfacial states. Impedimetric characteristics of the interface.
- Electrical and magnetic polarization of the matter.
- Piezoelectricity and mechanical transduction.
- Nanosensors: nanopores, nanotubes, nanowires, graphene, bolometers.
- Instruments: optical and electron microscope; Atomic force
microscope (AFM).
