By "experimental approach" do you mean (a) planning an experiment, or (b) actually performing an experiment? If (b), do you have (1) the resources to either fabricate or obtain a sample and (2) the equipment to take the measurements?suhruth said:I Had been given an assignment on electronic properties of materials in reduced dimension as mentioned above so I have been given another option to choose whether it to be a theoretical approach or experimental approach which one should I choose.
I'm an undergraduate student ,planning to work on Quantum dot ,nano structures and plan to go little advanced in this field . This is just a summer introductory research course.berkeman said:Welcome to the PF.
What level in school are you? Is this for a short paper, or a senior project, or a dissertation?
And what do you mean by reduced dimensions? How much are you trying to simplify things? A
nd how can you simplify the electronic properties of materials by just reducing the number of dimensions that you use to analyze them? Are you talking about classical V=IR kinds of things, or quantum mechanical band theory?
