            Course content
        
        
            The course "Nanostructured Silicon: Properties and applications" examines the main types of nanostructured silicon, the relationship between the structure and properties of nanosilicon, studies the main areas of use of this material. The purpose of studying the discipline is to familiarize the student with the physico-chemical bases of nanostructured silicon synthesis, methods of its analysis, properties of the material with different structure and features of its use in devices for different purposes. 
The results of the training are the ability to determine the basic structural characteristics of nanostructured silicon and the physical causes of changes in the properties of silicon due to the transition from monocrystalline to nanostructured form. Teaching methods: lectures, independent work. Assessment methods: modular test work, surveys during lectures, test.
