AbstractThe 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.
Learning objectiveThe student will be able to thermodynamically optimize micro- and nanotechnologies for manufacturing of chips, sensors, or microfluidic devices.
ContentThermodynamic 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

Small scale heat transport: Phonons and Electrons; Thermoelectrics using nanostructured materials

Principles of optics; Plasmonics: principles and applications; Optical methods: imaging and spectroscopy at micro- and nanoscale
