– Nanotechnology: In this course, an introduction to nanotechnology is discussed in detail with its scope. Insights inspiration to researchers from nature and different historical examples of the use of nanotechnology in day-to-day life.

– The second art of course dealing with the different methods of nanoparticle synthesis such as the Top-down method which includes Mechanical methods in which High Energy ball milling, with its advantages and disadvantages, Melt mixing, and nucleation is discussed.

– The Bottom-up method including Physical and chemical processing methods, Chemical techniques discussed in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of the Top-Down method and the Bottom-up method are discussed in detail.

– The later part of the course dealing with insight on classifications of characterization methods such as Electron Microscopy includes Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) such as Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM). Diffraction Techniques: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), spectroscopic methods for characterization parameters such as the size, crystalline type, composition, thermal, chemical state, and properties like optical or magnetic properties, etc. Further various characterization methods and their uses are elaborated for more convenient selection.

– Microscopy, its types are discussed in detail with Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). At a glance differentiation between light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy is discussed with the key features and differences.
