SYMPOSIUM I: Nanoscience

This Symposium is focused on theoretical and computational (modeling) aspects of Nano.
The symposium collects also contributions aiming to a better understanding of the structure and properties of nanomaterials.

• Theoretical aspects in NANO. Quantum and surface effects in nanomaterials
• Carbon based Nanomaterials
• Nanoparticles & Nanofibres
• Ultra-thin films and nanocoatings: structure and properties
• Patterned, nanostructures, and nanoconfined materials
• Nanocomposites
• Interacting nanomaterials (magnetic nanomaterials, conducting nanomaterials, ferroelectric nanomaterials, piezoelectric materials, multiferroic materials, coupled nanomaterials)
• Self-assembly at nanometer scale
• Phase transitions in nanomaterials and nanostructures
• Nanomaterials in extreme environments (nuclear plants, space environment)
• Modeling and simulations of physical and chemical properties
• Tribology and Lubrication Science
