2012 Functional and Structural Nanomaterials: Fabrication, Properties, Applications & Implications
This symposium will address the application, fabrication and fundamental materials science of nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are a class of materials whose morphology, structure or performance is dominated by phenomenon attributed to the "nano" length scale (<100 nm). This symposium will also address technological issues about the scale up and integration of nanomaterials into functional architectures and bulk systems for engineering applications. [Learn more]
2012 Symposium on Surfaces and Heterostructures at Nano- or Micro-Scale and Their Characterization, Properties, and Applications
This symposium will focus on the demand for multi-functionality in devices and analytical systems have motivated scientists to develop nanoscale heterostructures comprising of 1-D and 0-D nanostructures such as nanotubes/nanowires decorated with nanoparticles and heterojunctions based on nanotubes or nanowires. These heterostructures can exhibit novel physical phenomena critical for developing next generation of solar cells, catalytic systems, chemical and biological devices, magnetic devices, spintronics, and nano- or opto-electronic devices. In this symposium, scientists and engineers are expected to present new ideas and efforts for the advancement and integration of nanoscale heterostructures, including fundamental issues involved in their growth mechanisms, and properties.
