151-0060-00L | Thermodynamics and Energy Conversion in Micro- and Nanoscale Technologies | 4 credits | 2V + 2U | D. Poulikakos, H. Eghlidi, T. Schutzius | |
Abstract | The lecture deals with both: the thermodynamics in nano- and microscale systems and the thermodynamics of ultra-fast phenomena. Typical areas of applications are microelectronics manufacturing and cooling, laser technology, manufacturing of novel materials and coatings, surface technologies, wetting phenomena and related technologies, and micro- and nanosystems and devices. | ||||
Objective | The student will acquire fundamental knowledge of micro and nanoscale interfacial thermofluidics including light interaction with surfaces. Furthermore, the student will be exposed to a host of applications ranging from superhydrophobic surfaces and microelectronics cooling to biofluidics and solar energy, all of which will be discussed in the context of the course. | ||||
Content | Thermodynamic aspects of intermolecular forces, Molecular dynamics; Interfacial phenomena; Surface tension; Wettability and contact angle; Wettability of Micro/Nanoscale textured surfaces: superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity. Physics of micro- and nanofluidics. Principles of electrodynamics and optics; Optical waves at interfaces; Plasmonics: principles and applications. | ||||

151-0906-00L | Frontiers in Energy Research This course is only for doctoral students. | 2 credits | 2S | D. Poulikakos, R. Boes, V. Hoffmann, G. Hug, M. Mazzotti, A. Patt, A. Schlüter | |
Abstract | Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, their advisors and the scientific community. Each week a different student gives a 50-60 min presentation of their research (a full introduction, background & findings) followed by discussion with the audience. | ||||
Objective | Knowledge of advanced research in the area of energy. | ||||
Content | Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. There will be one presentation a week during the semester, each structured as follows: 20 min introduction to the research topic, 30 min presentation of the results, 30 min discussion with the audience. | ||||
Lecture notes | Slides will be available on the Energy Science Center pages(www.esc.ethz.ch/events/frontiers-in-energy-research.html). | ||||
