Scope of the workshop:
The workshop will be the kickoff meeting of WG7 (Semiconductors and nanotechnology), and will discuss recent progress and new initiatives in the areas of new semiconductor materials and quantum structures based thereon, including their growth and processing as well as new types of devices. The workshop will emphasise the computational and theoretical aspects of nanoscience and -technology, based on first-principles calculations of electronic properties.
Among the topics to discussed are novel semiconductors such as nitride compounds, zinc oxide, and carbon and other nanotube structures. Attention will be paid to the fundamental properties of quantum wires, rings, dots and other confined quantum systems, including their optical properties and excitation spectra, magnetism, and transport properties.
The workshop will be embedded in a larger meeting which will explore the current status of research in the broader area of electronic structure silumations of nanoclusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures in various fields of physics, chemistry and biology. The program will include a number of experimental talks to promote exchange of ideas and cross-disciplinary collaborations including both theory and experiment. The program will also include tutorial sessions in modern electronic structure theory.
Requested support from Ψk: 12000 euro, earmarked for travel costs of (junior) participants from the ESF Network.
Other support from Academy of Finland, National Graduate School for Materials Physics, Helsinki University of Technology, University of Jyväskylä.
