Welcome

This session will focus on the synthesis of nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires, nanotubes and other low dimensional structures. Self-assembly techniques that utilize nanomaterials as building blocks for the fabrication of more complex superstructures are also of interest. The aim of this session is to bring together a critical mass of researchers to facilitate discussions on how to systematically exploit different crystal growth processes for the production of complex, multifunctional nanostructures, as well as to develop novel self-organization strategies with high degrees of compositional and structural control.
