During the past 15 years,
extraordinary experimental advances have made the manipulation and fabrication
of structures at the nanoscale possible. Parallel developments of theoretical
and simulation capabilities aim to achieve quantitative understanding and
prediction of fundamental physical properties of these materials. 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 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.
