WORKSHOP ON

Theory and modeling of electronic excitations in Nanoscience

(general information)

OVERVIEW:

We aim to organize a three-day conference devoted to the theory and modeling of electronic excitations in nanostructured materials, in order to assess the latest achievements and the perspectives for first-principles theoretical methods in this field. The workshop will offer the opportunity to discuss open questions, to compare the drawbacks and advantages of different approaches, and to present pioneering applications to real materials of current experimental interest. In particular, we plan to give emphasis to recent successful siimulations in the field of nanoscience (nanotubes, quantum dots/wells, superlattices, surfaces, molecular electronics, bio-electronics and interdisciplinary fields like medical applications) as well as to theoretical advances related, for instance, to the efficient and accurate solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for optical  spectra.
 

In order to achieve the objectives of communication and the general style of this meeting will be informal with sufficient time for discussion. Due to this reason, we intend to limit the participation to less than 70 people. If you are interested in attending the Workshop, please send an email to nanoexc2004@roma2.infn.it.
A preliminary program will be available as soon as possible in this site.

The workshop will be held in the Hotel "VILLA DEL MARE" in Acquafredda di Maratea, Basilicata, Italy.
This hotel (http://www.costadimaratea.com/villadelmare/), situated between Sapri and Maratea, about 200 Km South
of Naples, has a long experience in hosting congresses and scientific meetings and will offer the opportunity
of an intense contact between the participants in an informal atmosphere.

The workshop will start on the morning of 20th of Semptember and will end on 22nd evening.
The dates of 19 th and 23nd are considered for arrivals and departures.
For who will wish to have a free day to visit the beautiful regional area and for who will have to attend the Nanoquanta Internal Meeting there is the possibility to arrive on 18th afternoon booking an additional night in the Registration form

Each day of the workshop will be divided into a morning session (9:00-13:00) and an afternoon session (16.30-19:30). Invited talks are allocated 30 minutes, plus additional 10 minutes reserved for discussion. Contributed talks will last 15 minutes, plus five minutes for discussion.
There will be an evening  poster session on Monday  20th, and a focussed round-table on Tuensday 21th afternoon.

Some bursaries for European Ph.D. students and postdocs will be available, see here for more information.
A living allowance will be available to invited (non NANOQUANTA) participants.
