Access and Inclusion for Students with Disabilities PSU
values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect
and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning
environment that is equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming. If any
aspects of instruction or course design result in barriers to your inclusion or
learning, please notify me. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) provides
reasonable accommodations for students who encounter barriers in the learning environment.
If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in
this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the
If you already have accommodations, please contact me to make sure that I have
received a faculty notification letter and discuss your accommodations.
Students who need accommodations for tests and quizzes are expected to schedule
their tests to overlap with the time the class is taking the test.
Title IX Reporting Obligations As an instructor, one of my
responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment for my students
and for the campus as a whole. Please be aware that as a faculty member, I have
the responsibility to report any instances of sexual harassment, sexual violence
and/or other forms of prohibited discrimination. If you would rather share
information about sexual harassment, sexual violence or
discrimination to a confidential employee who does not have this reporting
responsibility, you can find a list of those individuals or contact a
confidential advocate at 503-725-5672. For more information about Title IX
please complete the required student module Creating a
Safe Campus in your D2L.
As for the usage of
“information technology in class” and multi-tasking, research
shows that it does more harm than good. It is also like passive smoking; even
the students who want to concentrate on the lecture get distracted by it. So
find some way of dealing with that please amongst yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awAMTQZmvPE
classical materials science and engineering,
commonly abbreviated as MSE, is a natural approach to nano(-materials)
science and engineering, so you do have to learn a bit about the classical MSE
field first in order to gain an appreciation of interdisciplinary; also the physics part of the field is
pretty much quantum mechanics, so I will review some of that material as well
I do not require my students to purchase any book,
first there is so far no STANDARD text book on nano-materials science and
engineering, sure there are many books on classical materials science and
engineering as the epitome of interdisciplinary, so if you want to know about
the MSE approach, I recommend you go for one of the books below.
R. W. Chan, The Coming of Materials Science, Pergamon, 2001, only about $ 60, but covers an enormous range, i.e. essentially the whole field plus its historic context, my personal recommendation !! http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B%3AJMSC.0000031465.21532.fd , http://www.amazon.de/Cahn-Coming-Materials-Science/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ACahn%20Coming%20Materials%20Science
you may like to check out www.ufrgs.br/...%20The%20Coming%20of%20Materials%20Science.pd as well
R. J. Naumann, Introduction to the Physics and Chemistry of Materials, CRC Press, so not very expensive but better than many other undergraduate text since some basic quantum mechanics is used to explain key properties of atoms, chemical bonds, and solids
Properties of Materials, by Mary Anne White, Oxford University Press, New York, Oxford, 1999, paperback, so it will not be too expensive, pretty much a physical property book
The Science and Design of Engineering Materials, 2nd edition by James P. Schaffer, Ashok Saxena, Stephen D. Antolovich, Thomas H. Sanders, and Steven Warner, Mc Graw Hill, 1999, more expensive but really good

format from one of the top schools in this country.
Science at the Nanoscale, An Introductory Textbook, by C.W. Shong, S.C. Haur, and A.T.S. Wee, (Pan Stanford Publ. 2010) is interesting but does not offer much for graduate students. It is similar to C. Binns, Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Wiley, 2010, which is a good read at bedtime. Concentrating more on the physics aspects of nanotech and being consistently at a higher level that undergraduate nanoscience textbooks above (so more suited for a beginning graduate student in physics), a pretty good textbook is E. L. Wolf, Nanophysics and Nanotechnology, An Introduction to Modern Concepts in Nanoscience, 2nd enlarged Edition, Wiley-VCH, 2006.
Introduction to Nanotechnology by C P. Poole Jr. and F. J. Owens, Wiley 2003, does not contain information on graphene due to its comparatively early publication year it, but it is a good higher level gradate text that openly acknowledges that it can only be an introduction to different areas of nanotech which are more mature than to rest of the field. (Note that other texts do not like to admit this, but will with necessity have the same limitation.) The physics and chemistry of nanosolids, by C P. Poole Jr. and F. J. Owens, Wiley 2008, does contain a section on graphene in addition to much new material that the introduction by the same authors did not cover and is suitable for advance undergraduates and beginning graduates. There is also an introductory chapter on the bulk properties of materials for students that do not have had an introduction to materials science and -engineering course.
A very nice introduction to the
physics, chemistry, and biology, and engineering at the nanometer level is S.M. Lindsay, Introduction to Nanoscience,
Bits and pieces from the
textbooks above and from complementing classical materials science and
introductory quantum mechanics texts is what we are going to cover.
Nanoscale Physics for Materials Science, T. Tsusumi, H. Hirayama, M. Vacha, T. Taniyama, CRC Press, 2010, is at a higher level and discusses nanoscale physics as integral part of nano-materials science, where I do think it belongs naturally. Nearly all of it is quantum mechanics, so it might be a bit heavy for beginners without sufficient background. Horst Guenter Rubahn, Basics of Nanotechnology, Wiley-VCH, 3rd revised and enlarged edition, 2008, is at a slightly lower level, but is in that authors own words admittedly . . . biased by the research topics and interests of the author. Both texts developed from courses for graduate students in other countries.
There is some kind of an undergrad textbook
with material for a whole year: Introduction
to Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, G. L. Hornyak,
H. F. Tibbals, J. Dutta,
and J. J. Moore, CRC Press, Boca Raton 2009, it is actually two books in
one as there is also Introduction to Nanoscience and Introduction to
Nanotechnology available separately from the same publisher by the same authors.
What I personally do not like about this textbook is its somewhat excessively
long prose; physicists often like to
make their arguments with formulae (i.e. some special kind of unambiguous poetry) and derive where
something interesting is coming from by combining a bunch of other formulae.
Also whenever there are several authors and the editor did a less then perfect
job (or when there were several editors that were not all experts in the
field), there is often overlap between chapters. There are some mistakes
and misconceptions, and way too much uncritical emphasis around the nonsense
that Drexler and Kurzweil came up with for my linking. So it is NOT recommended by me at the 400/500 level.
Here is a link to a popular science book on nanotech and here another one to a more serious book.
Because our course
is both for advanced undergraduates and graduates, I will only use bits and
pieces from the texts above along with the material that is downloadable below.
Almost nobody can be perfectly knowledgeable in interdisciplinary fields as
wide as nanoscience and nanotechnology, so what we have to practice is getting
in the habit of developing capabilities for live-long learning.
"During the Middle Ages there were
all kinds of crazy ideas, such as that a piece of rhinoceros horn would increase
potency. Then a method was discovered for separating the ideas--which was to
try one to see if it worked, and if it didn't work, to eliminate it. This
method became organized, of course, into science. And it developed very well,
so that we are now in the scientific age. It is such a scientific age, in fact
that we have difficulty in understanding how witch doctors could ever have
existed, when nothing that they proposed ever really worked--or very little of
it did." - CARGO CULT SCIENCE by Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988). (Link 1) | (Link 2)
Check out the web
pages of the Portland Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology Academy. There you will find more related courses at PSU
that, e.g. Fabrication and_Characterization_of_Nanomaterials, ...
The approach taken
in this course follows a successful course on nanomaterials
at
To highlight a certain aspect of MSE, it is customary to depict the MSE tetrahedron with one of the four equal vertices up (making them in effect not-quite equal), e.g. S. M. Allen and E. L. Thomas, The Structure of Materials, Wiley, 1999, in order to have some justification to concentrate on one particular aspect of MSE.
This course will also be a little bit biased towards
atomistic structure, because I believe with Samuel M. Allen and Edwin L. Thomas
that “there is a common set of principles governing
the structure and properties of many different types of materials ... an
understanding of these principles forms the foundation of a modern education in
the field of materials science and engineering … Facility with
crystallography is a primary skill for communication in materials science and
engineering. “
Along similar lines, Bernhardt Wuensch defines materials science as being primarily about the relation between the structure of matter and its properties and materials engineering as being primarily about the modification of properties and performance during and after processing, and with manufacture.
One may, thus, define the materials science and engineering super-discipline loosely as being about communications between (materials) scientist and (materials) engineers. Surely a common scientific language is needed for this communication to happen. As far as the crystalline state is concerned, this language is crystallography and its words are the crystallographic core concepts.
As for the usage of
“information technology in class” and multi-tasking, research
shows that it does more harm than good. It is also like passive smoking; even
the students who want to concentrate on the lecture get distracted by it. So
find some way of dealing with that please amongst yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awAMTQZmvPE
So what this course tries to achieve:
- besides
giving an overview over the whole field of nano(-materials) science and
engineering
- serving students from all
science and engineering disciplines at PSU and anybody interested from the
Greater Portland Area
- clarifying some simple
physical laws of structure-property-size-shape relationships of crystalline
engineering materials at the nanometer scale, study applications that involve
nano-structured materials, develop capabilities and skills for
interdisciplinary communications, develop capabilities to critically evaluate
nanotechnology related news claims / distinguishing real progress from hype, help
building a foundation for life-long learning.
For all of that you have to learn some
crystallography first, but you will
get this from a genuine crystallographer (i.e. me), so the emphasis is on the
correct usage of the core concepts!
-------------------- now something brief on the
importance of communication skills --------------------
Employers consistently remarked that the key factor which allows a recent college graduate to be productive is an understanding of how to apply their knowledge in the context of the business or government agency and effectively communicate with the peers and management about their ideas and recommendations.
90 % of the surveyed employers rated work experience as important or very important. 88 % of employers rate the ability to communicate clearly as important or very important.
516 undergraduate students (juniors or seniors at Oregon University System campuses) majoring in science technology engineering and mathematics were surveyed. Over 75 % of these students said it was likely or very likely that they would enroll in a master degree program that had a combination of science coursework, a few business and communication courses, and an internship in their chosen field. After engineering, the top two interest areas were environmental science and renewable energy followed by biotechnology and computer science.
299 alumni holding bachelor degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics were surveyed. 45 % of these alumni said that it was likely or very likely that they would enroll in a master degree program that had a combination of science coursework, a few business and communication courses and an internship in their chosen field. The top three areas of interest were environmental science, clinical research, and renewable energy.
Fall 2008 surveys by the
Along similar lines, an article in the Oregonian:
What do employers want from a
college graduate? Topping their list are skills in writing and speaking.
Number 2: Critical thinking and analytic reasoning. Those are followed by
abilities to solve complex problems, make ethical decisions and work in teams.
These are the findings of a recent survey of 302 employers by the Association of American
Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). The full results of the report, "Raising
the Bar: Employers' Views on College learning in the Wake of the Economic
Downturn," will be released tomorrow.
..
Students would have to demonstrate they could think critically, reflectively
and creatively; take charge of their own learning; read, write, speak and
listen well; use science and math to solve real-world problems; and work with
others on team projects. Those look a lot like the skills prized by employers
in the recent AAC&U survey.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why communication is somewhat difficult in interdisciplinary science and engineering settings:
we cannot improve the language of any science
without at the same time improving the science itself; neither can we, on the
other hand, improve a science, without improving the language of nomenclature
which belongs to it.
1790, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, the "father of
modern chemistry"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Lavoisier

for comparison, this is how introductory courses on nanostructured materials and nanotechnology are done elsewhere

Now let us
move on to your weekly home/course work. Your final
grade for the course is entirely based on the various course work assignments!
Since much of nano-materials science and
engineering necessarily involves communications within teams of nano-scientist
and nano-engineers, one major objective of this course is to prepare you for
working in interdisciplinary teams. So you will have to read a couple of papers
and write an informative opinion piece about it, that piece is supposed to
communicate something, so you have to absorb the information first, then to
think about the needs of the people you are going to address, what they need to
know, (skip what they already know), why they need to know what you are going
to communicate to them, .. This should be well thought
through and typically no longer than a page.
You
are well advised to read this paper, and keep its main messages in mind when
you are composing your own opinion piece.
Because we
have a mixture of undergraduates and graduates in this class, there need to be
some more advanced assignments for graduate students.
1. both
graduate
and undergraduates: read this paper write a few paragraphs, (but not more
than about a page) that communicates something
important/summarizes/evaluates/gives your personal opinion about this article,
graduates only: read this paper, if you see fit, research the field a
bit and include your additional insights into your writing assignment, all due at due at beginning of the 3rd
week,
2. both graduate and
undergraduates: read the text of the seminal talk There is Plenty of Room at the
Bottom by Richard P. Feynman (December 29th, 1959) at the
annual meeting of the American Physical Society: http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html
(maybe you want to watch his version some 25 years later on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eRCygdW--c
in addition for fun) answer these questions, and write a few paragraphs, (but not more
than a page) that summarize/evaluate and express your own opinions about this
article, due at the beginning of the 4th
week. There is also very
interesting material in a Special Issue on

piece, due at the beginning of the 8th
week.
7. both
graduate and undergraduates: go to http://nanocrystallography.research.pdx.edu/
and answer these questions reading either this paper with color images, or this paper with gray scale images will help
you, due at the beginning of the 9th
week (it is a bit involved, so do start early). Note that the paper is just for your information, no
opinion/communication/assessment/summary piece about it is required.)
graduates only, read this paper, (S. J. Pennycook et
al., Materials Advances through Aberration-Corrected Electron Microscopy, MRS
Bulletin 31 (2006) 36-43), answer these questions and then write your usual
summary/assessment/communication/opinion piece, due at the beginning of the 9th week
8. both graduate
and undergraduates, FINAL COURSE WORK, will have 30% weight of the whole course
write approximately 3-4 pages on what you think nanoscience and engineering is and how it is going to
develop in years to come. Think about all the assignments you did, what you
have heard in the course, due at the
beginning of the finals week.
I
really do want your own opinions, there is no punishment for having other opinions than I tried to seed in your minds, but I do expect a
personal and well argued piece of writing.
9. if you
missed an assignment you can make up
for to 15 bonus points. Note that this does not count towards the 30 % of your
final grade that comes from your final course work, for that there is no making
up! Read The
materials science of pleasure answer these questions, also consider does it fit the 1989 MSE paradigm of the
structure-property-synthesis/processing-performance to cost ratio tetrahedron? are nano-specific concepts right in the center of the
tetrahedron involved tjat would, make it nano-MSE?
due at the
beginning of the 10th week.

“the process of designing and
analyzing detailed hypothetical models of systems that are not feasible with
current technologies or methods, but do seem to be clearly within the bounds of
what science considers to be possible within the narrowly defined scope of
operation of the hypothetical system model” exploratory
