A Brief
Survey of Nanotechnology: Materials, Devices, and Applications
by: Thomas Mantei
Professor of Electrical Engineering
University of Cincinnati
Nanoscale
science and technology are expanding new fields in which materials and
devices are created at the nanometer dimension scale, that is, at the
level of atoms and molecules. This extremely small length scale creates
different physical, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties,
leading to new applications in consumer products, electronics,
photonics, and medicine. This talk will provide an introduction to
nanoscale
materials and devices and is intended for a broad audience. We will
start with current products and applications such as cosmetics and
fabrics and then move on to possible future devices and applications
such as carbon-nanotube transistors and nano-pore DNA sequencing.
Thomas
Mantei works in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
at the University
of Cincinnati (UC). He earned the BSEE degree from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and the MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford
University.
His research
interests involve the low temperature plasma-assisted synthesis and
etching of thin films for industrial applications. Professor Mantei has
published approximately 40 reviewed journal papers and holds patents on
plasma sources and plasma confinement; he has directed the UC Institute
for Nanoscale Science and Technology since 2004. Professor Mantei has
been voted Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Professor of Electrical Engineering
multiple times, is a Tau Beta Pi Eminent Engineer, and has received
numerous teaching awards including the A. B. "Dolly" Cohen Excellence in
Teaching Award at UC. He is a Senior Member of the Institute for
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a member of the American
Vacuum Society, the American
Solar Energy Society, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.

RESC Policy
on Luncheon Reservations
(1)
Reservations for the RESC monthly luncheon should be received by the
Treasurer by the due date noted in the Newsletter.
(2)
Telephone your reservation request to the Treasurer if you miss the due
date. We will try to fit you in.
(3) Call the
treasurer no later than 9:00 am on the Monday prior to the Tuesday
meeting if you have an emergency and can not attend. If possible, your
luncheon payment will be credited for use on future lunches or dues.
4) Since
RESC pays for the final number of reservations called in, “no-show”
members are expected to pay for their reservations. However, the kitchen
will prepare “carry-out” lunches for the “no-shows”. If you paid for
lunch and cannot attend, contact a friend to pick up your lunch.
