   Grade Level 9-11 Approximate Time Needed to Complete Unit TBD  Unit Summary In this engineering design unit, students design custom party lights for a school group. They learn about logarithms, including graphing a logarithmic function, how they are the inverse of the...

3. Light Emitting Diodes

   Teaching Materials | 29 Jun 2020 | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Sam Levenson, James J Marti

   This module demonstrates the concepts of semiconductor band gaps and the quantum nature of light using readily available and inexpensive LEDs.  It uses a simple fact which surprises many students – LED can detect light (i.e., act as small solar cells) as well as generate light. The...

4. Nanotechnology in Electronics: An Introduction to the units on LEDs, Thermistors, and Transistors

   Teaching Materials | 12 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Jacyln Murray, NNCI Nano

   The purpose of the following group of lab units is to illustrate properties associated with nanotechnology and the electronics industry through utilization of semiconductors.  By using macro-examples of actual nano-circuitry, students will understand what is happening on the...

5. Light Extraction by Changing Composition of Material

   Teaching Materials | 06 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Sidhu Rano, NNCI Nano

   This activity has been designed to have students explore light emitting diodes (LED) and the importance of index of refraction in improving LED efficiency. This activity investigates the tune-ability of a polymer’s index of refraction by using a macromodel LED.

6. Quantum Workshop III: LED Circuit and Device Physics

   Teaching Materials | 07 Feb 2015 | Contributor(s):: Stella Quinones

   A hands-on learning exercise used to illustrate the device physics of a light emitting diode (LED) in a simple resistor circuit.  Students explore the photon energy of four LEDs, compare the voltage drop (or forward bias) across the LED, and explain the behavior of the LED under...
