3 EDUCATION

4 FACTS NTNU key figures (2010) 52 departments in 7 faculties NTNU University Library NTNU Museum of Natural History and Archaeology student applications with NTNU as first choice registered students, 6726 admitted in degrees awarded 260 doctoral degrees awarded (32 % women) person-years employed in education and research; 596 full professors Budget: EUR 640 mill m 2 owned and rented premises

5 What is NTNU NanoLab? 500m 2 cleanroom and infrastructure - ISO 7-5 (class ) - yearly budget of 15 MNOK - 5 engineers Strategic coordination 3 scientific areas: - Nanocomponent technology (sensors, ) - Bionanotechnology (diagnostics, ) - Nanotechnology for green energy systems (CO2 handling, solar cells, green process technology, battery technology...)

6 Interdisciplinary approach Historie Faculty of Faculty of Medicine Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering NTNUs Natural styre Sciences vedtok i 2004 å etablere NTNU NanoLab: and Technology - koordinere og fremme nanoteknologi forskning ved NTNU - etablere et renrom for nanoteknologisk forskning - utvikle Faculty of undervisningstilbud innenfor nanoteknologi Humanities Unik, tverrfaglig, strategisk satsing - den største enkelsatsning på NTNU noensinne NTNU has a broad basis for cooperation within nanotechnology Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology About 160 project employees, and 60 permanent staff within different fields of nanotechnology

12 3 examples for nanotechnology research at NTNU

13 Nanomechanical testing and modeling of pillars Atomistic simulation of iron pillar during loading. The colors indicate atoms with higher strain to visualize the deformations. PhD student Bjørn Rune Rogne and Professor Christian Thaulow, both NTNU Nano-sized pillar specimen machined from structural steel with Focused Ion Beam at NTNU NanoLab, and tested with Nanoindenter. Pillar (above) before testing and (below) after testing. contact: prof.christian Thaulow

14 Example 2: Materials science and engineering o Synthesis of high quality nano-sized ceramic powders from a large variety of compositions using spray pyrolysis o Synthesis and characterization of Si quantum dots for solar cells o Biosynthesis and characterization of silica-based nanostructures formed by diatoms, for solar cell applications contact: prof. s Tor Grande, Mari-Ann Einarsrud, Svein Sunde and Kjell Wiik. assoc. professors Fride Vullum-Bruer and Gabriella Tranell

15 Example 3: Nanowires Growth Technique: Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) Growth Mechanism: VLS growth Characterization -Structural characterization (SEM, HRTEM) -Optical Characterization (µ-pl, TRPL, magnetopl) - Photocurrent To determine: - Morphology and crystal structure - Composition - Fundamental material properties (bandgap, selection rules, lifetimes) Device Fabrication - Electronic devices - NW solar cells -NW lasers Au GaAs Contact: prof. s Helge Weman, Bjørn Ove Fimland - NTNU

16 a national infrastructure NTNU NanoLab coordinates NorFab NORFAB is an infrastructure project financed by the the Norwegian Research Council. Finances cleanrom related research within Nano- and Microtechnology in Norway Partners: 4 largest research oriented cleanroms in Norway in the field NTNU NanoLab SINTEF MiNaLab MiNaLab UiO MST-lab (Høgskolen i Vestfold) Open infrastructure: all players in Norway can use the lab facilities in the cleanroms for the same price and conditions.
