1.a) What are the unique features of Nanotechnology? Why it is different from other
pe
technologies? [2]
b) Will TiO2 semiconductor can be used as sun screen creams/lotions? If so, explain
briefly. [3]
r1
c) Distinguish Stacking faults and Twins with examples. [2]
d) How you distinguish surface and bulk in nanomaterials? Explain why surface itself is
considered as “defect” in case of nanomaterials? [3]
e) Differentiate between PVD and CVD. [2]
