3. 1. WHAT IS NANO?
Nano
Originates from the Greek word ‘dwarf’
Factor
Nano is of the factor 10-9
How small is it?
for e.g.:-
Oxygen atoms
Water molecule

NANOTECHNOLOGY
7. 3. WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT
NANOTECH & WHY IS IT AN ISSUE?
The AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)
8. Quantum Effects:
Quantum effect describes the electron properties
The effect comes into play when nanometer size
range is reached
Quantum effects begin to dominate behavior of
the matter
Materials reduced to nanoscale show different
properties
For instance,
10. Surface Area
Comparison of bulk form and nano scale
form of same mass of material
This make material chemically more reactive
11. To understand the effect of particle size on
surface area. Consider this example,
the coin weighs 26.96 grams
and has a diameter of about 4 centimeter
And has a total surface area of approx. 27.70
sq. cm.
12. if, the same amount of coin were divided into
tiny particles – say 1nm in diameter
then, the total surface area of those particles
would be 11,400 sq. meters
The surface area of those particles is over 4
million times greater than the surface area of
the silver coin.
13. EVOLUTIONARY V/S REVOLUTIONARY NANOTECHNOLOGIES
FOR EXAMPLE,
The picture over left is
the first point contact
transistor built in 1947.
It has a diameter of
over 1 centimeter
The first point contact
transistor
Description
14. Intel’s Nehalem chip
architecture
of size 32nm
which incorporates
about 1.9 billion
transistors in a single
chip
Intel’s 32nm Nehalem chip
architecture
Description
15. Which is equivalent to,
shrinking of 509 meters tall
Tapei-101 (currently the tallest building of the world )
to the size of a 1.6 millimeter tall
grain of rice
16. 4.HISTORY OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Historical Background
The First mention
By James Clerk Maxwell (in 1867)
During the beginning of 20th century
Richard Adolf Zsigmondy (in 1910’s)
Irving Langmuir & Katharine B. Blodgett (in
1920’s)
Gordon Moore (in 1965’s)
