INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA IN NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS (3) Erlebacher/Stebe All materials properties of materials change when encountered or fabricated with nanoscale structure.  In this class, we will examine how the properties of nanostructured materials differ from their macroscopic behavior, primarily due to the presence of large interfacial areas relative to the characteristic volume scale.  General topics include the structure of nanostructured materials (characterization and microscopy), thermodynamics (effects of high curvatures and surface elasticity), kinetics and phase transformations (diffusion and morphological stability), and electronic properties (quantum confinement and effects of dimensionality).
