Physics on the Nanoscale

The main questions to be answered in this lecture are:

• What happens to materials if the size is downscaled into the regime, where eg. quantum effects become relevant?
• Which new properties show up?
• How to measure them?
• And how to apply the new functionalities for devices and applications?

Aims: Understanding relevant lengths scales for different properties, general consequences and concepts, and their potential for applictions.
