This conference is sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory and will bring together theoreticians and experimentalists from diverse backgrounds (Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, and Engineering) who work on functionalized nanomaterials. The conference is intended to examine issues and opportunities associated with the essential role of inorganic/organic interfaces in many chemical and physical processes important for applications ranging from molecular electronics and photovoltaics to medicine. The conference will specifically address the questions how bio- and organic- functional groups, such as organic molecules, conjugated polymers, DNA, proteins, etc., affect electronic and optical properties, excited state dynamics, quantum confinement, and carrier transport in nanosystems: semiconductor quantum dots, metallic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, etc.
Key topics include:
- Quantum dots and carbon nanotubes functionalized by organic and bio polymers and molecules.
- Geometry conformations and interaction process on the organic/inorganic interfaces.
- Electronic and optical properties and energy/charge transfer in hybrid materials.
- From novel structures to novel physical phenomena.
- Ultrafast processes, and functional devices.
