European School On Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies


LECTURES

Courses cover the fundamentals of selected fields that were chosen as being important aspects of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies in Physics, Biology or Chemistry. The session A is oriented towards nanoelectronics as all fields (magnetism, optics, mechanics…) could not be covered in 7 days.

Each course, consisting of 3 or 4 lectures of 1h45 each, will be taught in english and, usually, by a single person, .
