Using Gold Nanoparticles for Bacterial Detection
28 Oct 2016 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Michael L. Falk, NNCI Nano
This lab is designed to introduce students to gold nanoparticles and some of their applications. Students will create gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and learn the potential disease detection uses of GNPs, conduct research on modifying GNPs to be specific to other molecules, and complete a simulation...

Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency: Comparing Input Power to Output Power of a Silicon Photovoltaic Cell
28 Oct 2016 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Oskar Cymerman, NNCI Nano
This lesson is designed to help students find a measure of a solar cell’s power conversion efficiency, by studying output power (Pout) of a silicon PV cell and comparing it to the input power (Pin) of incandescent light bulbs illuminating the PV from a set distance. In this activity,...

Uncertainty Measurements and the Wavelength of Light
28 Oct 2016 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Chris Kaus, NNCI Nano
This high school physics lesson is designed to help students understand how very small measurements can be made (even at the nanoscale) and how the accuracy of those measurements affects their results. In this lab, students will calculate the wavelength of a laser (on the nanoscale) using...

Bringing Quantum Mechanics to Life: From Schrödinger's Cat to Schrödinger's Microbe
01 Nov 2016 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Tongcang Li
In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction to basic concepts in quantum mechanics and the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. I will then review developments in creating quantum superposition and entangled states and the realization of quantum teleportation. Non-trivial quantum...

How to View Atomic Planes in FCC, NaCl and Simple Cubic Structures using Crystal Viewer
27 Oct 2016 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Tanya Faltens
This step by step guide shows how to view atomic planes in some common crystal structures. The crystal structures can be sliced along the planes, and the atomic packing of each plane investigated. Examples are given for viewing the (110) plane in an FCC metal structure, the (100)...

Low Temperature Enhancement of the Thermoelectric Seebeck Coefficient in Semiconductor Nanoribbons
09 Nov 2016 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Kommini Adithya, Zlatan Aksamija
IWCE 2015 Presentation. We propose a novel approach to achieving a narrow window-shaped TDF through a combination of a step-like 2-dimensional density-of-states (DOS) and inelastic optical phonon scattering. A shift in the onset of scattering with respect to the step-like DOS creates a TDF which...
