blocks |
|
|
It is generally
accepted that by
improving control over
the synthesis and
assembly of
nanoparticle building
blocks it will be
possible to produce
materials with
tailored and
predictable
properties.
Furthermore, by
incorporating
hierarchical control
into the assembly
(through type, size
and spatial
distribution of the
NPs) it will be
possible to improve
materials properties
and performance and
develop new
functionalities

The relation between
electronic structure
and the
crystallographic
atomic arrangement is
one of the fundamental
questions in condensed
matter physics and
inorganic chemistry.
Since the discovery of
the atomic nature of
matter and its
periodic structure,
this has remained as
one of the main
questions regarding
the very foundation of
solid systems.
Needless to say this
has also bearings on
physical and chemical
properties of matter,
where again the
relation between
structure and
performance is of
direct interest.

focused on the
transfer of heat in
conditions where the
dynamics of carriers
is affected by short
time and/or short
space scales. The goal
is to bridge the gap
between experiments
and modeling,
fundamental issues and
applications to move
towards a deeper
understanding of the
physics and the
related devices.

effects on the
properties of
nanomaterials
|
|

Nanomaterials and
nanostructures are
playing an increasing
role in everyday life
as part of complex
(miniaturized)
electronic devices but
also as components of
modern tools for
diagnosis and
treatment in medicine.
Because of that,
preparation and
characterization of
well controlled, at
the nanoscale size, of
complex nanomaterials
and nanostructures is
of paramount
importance for their
applications. The
proposed symposium
provides an
interdisciplinary
forum to discuss
recent progress in the

(synchrotrons, centers
for neutron scattering
and for nuclear
research,…) in order
to present the latest
advances in the
