 Symposium K 401.30 Kb
An increasing effort is currently being directed towards the development of new functionalized nanostructured materials. This symposium expects contributions that demonstrate how highly precise techniques can enable a deep understanding of the materials. This expertise is the key for development of new engineered materials for nano and bio technologies.
Scope:
Currently, an enormous effort is required for the development of new functionalized nanostructured materials including multilayers, nanocomposites, (bio)sensor layers, photonic structures, and a range of other applications. Highly precise, non-destructive characterization techniques are the key to understand and develop these materials, because these methods can be used e.g. for in-situ characterization, they can be integrated in sensors. Due to the required high sensitivity of the characterization of materials properties the techniques are pushed to the limits. In case of optical techniques the major challenges are the extension of the capabilities towards the nano and the photonic range (dimensions much smaller, and dimensions comparable with the optical wavelengths).
The aim of this symposium is both to highlight the capabilities of highly sensitive characterization techniques for the determination of the key structural and material parameters and for a better understanding of the functional properties, as well as to discuss recent progress in the development of functionalized structured materials supported by advanced characterizations. Demonstration of in situ capabilities for a deeper understanding of the structure formation is highly encouraged.
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
- Optical methods (ellipsometry, reflectometry, optical waveguide light-mode spectroscopy, scattering, photoluminescence, etc.)
- X-ray methods (XRR, XRF, XRD, XPS)
- Ion beam methods (MEIS, RBS, He microscopy, nuclear reaction analysis, elastic recoil detection analysis)
- Scanning probe methods
- Surface modifications
- Electrochemical and optical biosensors
- Bio-compatible materials
- Bio-sensing materials for medical applications
- Imaging for medical applications
