Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of the course the students will be able to: - Describe the specificities of cold plasma - Describe the operation of a magnetron discharge - Describe the operation of a PECVD process - Explain the mechanisms involved in the synthesis of thin films by plasma technologies. Students will also be able to describe methods of producing nanostructured materials in bulk, coating or nanoparticle form, as well as the properties of those materials and the most frequent characterization techniques. He'll also be able to understand the physical phenomena specific to the nanoworld and exploit them in applications. The student will also be able to apprehend the latest evolutions in the filed of materials.
Content of UE
Description of the plasma environment, characteristics of cold plasma, magnetron sputtering (reactive), pulsed methods, PECVD processes, plasma polymerization, thin film growth. Synthesis of nanomaterials and nanostructured materials. Characterization of nanomaterials and nanostructured materials. Mechanical properties of nanomaterials and nanostructured materials. Explanations of the physical properties specifically linked to the systems at nanometric scale (quantization, superparamagnetism, Coulomb blocade de Coulomb, plasmon, etc...). Introduction to molecular and plastic electronics.
