The scientific and technological activity involving the study and the development of materials at nanoscale and related converging technologies allows great progress in the conception, design and realisation of systems and devices with substantially improved performance. This field asks for interdisciplinary research aiming at understanding phenomena, mastering processes and developing advanced diagnostic techniques to manipulate and probe the properties of matter at the mesoscopic, molecular and atomic scale, thus providing tremendous opportunities for the creation of new materials and functionalities.
The objective of this conference, which follows the one held on the same subject in the frames of CIMTEC 2006 (Florence, Italy), is to provide state-of-art information in a field where the structural dimensions of the fabricated systems are at or below one hundred nm, and to enlighten recent results in the fields of physics, chemistry, electronic, engineering, mathematics, biological sciences, as well as environmental related disciplines.
Session topics will explore nanocomposite systems, artificial materials including photonic crystals, metamaterials and plasmonic-based structures, hybrid composites, nanowires, nanotubes, nanocrystals, colloids and related aspects such as fabrication, basic mechanisms, assessment techniques, processes and devices.
