This interdisciplinary workshop will provide an open forum for active interactions between researchers from different subfields. The scope of the conference is a variety of excited state phenomena in several technologically important materials and biosystems, including size-dependent and time-dependent electronic interactions, excited state dynamics, quantum confinement, and carrier transport, emphasizing similarity of the phenomena rather than specifics of the systems.
Topical Areas:
- Organic polymers and nanotubes: ultrafast processes and functional devices
- Organo-metallic complexes: excited state potentials and photocatalysis
- Semiconductor nanocrystals: from novel structures to novel physical phenomena
- Biosystems: conformations, energy/charge transport, spectroscopy and photosynthesis
