Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, April 20 / Trend H.Hasanov /
The Turkmen State Power Engineering Institute is expected to launch a special subject, "Fundamentals of Nanotechnology", the Neytralniy Turkmenistan newspaper reported.
The new discipline is introduced into the training of specialists such as mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, automation engineers, chemical engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers and electrical engineers.
The main objective is to study ways to create nanoparticles and nanomaterials, their structure and properties, methods to manipulate nano-objects and application of these nano-objects in different systems.
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at a molecular or atomic level in order to produce novel materials and devices with new extraordinary properties.
The lectures will focus on small particles - nanoclusters whose properties are intermediate between the properties of isolated atoms and polycrystalline solids, the article says.
Students will become familiarized with methods of extraction of compact materials with extremely fine-grained structure as well as learn about diffusion and chemical properties of nanomaterials.
The special course also assumes familiarity with the microstructure of compact nanomaterials: microscopic, spectroscopic and indirect methods, direct observation of the nanoparticle and the details of the nanostructure by electron microscopy and other new methods of nanolithography.
Today, the term "nanotechnology" is used in a broad sense, grasping and combining processes and systems of devices capable of performing ultra-precise operations on a scale of several nanometers.
