Nano-to-Macro Transport Process: Course Description

The 'Nano-to-Macro Transport Process' OpenCourseWare was created by Professor Gang Chen and is designed for students with an interest in micro and nanotechnology. Some of the topics discussed in this free course include the specific heat of molecules, electrons and photons, electronic energy levels in crystals, the Shrodinger Equation and phonon energy levels in crystals.

Lecture notes, homework assignments and the two mid-term exams are available for download for free online. If you are interested in taking this course, please visit the nano-to-micro transport process course page.
