Description

The interdisciplinary course is aimed at the development / application of experimental techniques and advanced theoretical / computational methods for studying matter and systems at micro- and nano-scale. PhD students have access to local (lithographies) and international (synchrotron, supercomputer) facilities and they will participate in national / international research networks with stages abroad.

The course includes two training paths:
- "Physics" - This path is aimed at developping reasearch activities in the physics of matter through the acquisition of experimental and theoretical skills. The aim is to train experts in research in experimental/theoretical physics and physical methods applied in different fields. - "Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies" - This is an interdisciplinary path open to students with different backgrounds (physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc.) The themes that characterize this path include: nano-systems for energy conversion, quantum technologies, functional surfaces and nanostructured systems: fabrication, microscopy and spectroscopy, (nano-)bio systems preparation and study of functional molecules and graphene, nano-tribology, advanced computational methods and theoretical physics, physics of (nano-)devices. The objective is to develop interdisciplinary skills in the areas of nanoscience that are necessary to interact with different operators in multi-disciplinary areas.

The training is aimed at acquiring the skills required for access to academic careers as researcher or technology roles in universities and research institutes in Italy and abroad, as well as in the training of executives in industry and services.

Duration

Three years (01/11/2017 - 31/10/2020)
