Diagnostics of carbon nanostructures
Conference/School for Young
Scientists
Progress in modern nanotechnologies requires
development of new, and refinement of already
available methods of diagnostics.
Carbon nanostructures, a class including a broad
variety of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds,
onions, nanographite and quite recently discovered
graphenes, stand out among other materials in
their typically small size, less than 10 nm, and
in some cases feature an intricate structure of
sp2/sp3 hybridized carbon atoms.
An additional difficulty arises when one has
not only to detect the presence of impurity atoms,
but pinpoint their localization within a few nanometers.
Apart from this, the above types of carbon nanostructures
not only can be synthesized as bulk materials
but exist in the form of both powders and suspensions
and sols, whose study presupposes development
of novel, or modification of already known diagnostics
which earlier were applied to investigation of
bulk solids only. Standing slightly apart is the
diagnostics of the above objects in the gas phase.
There is hardly any doubt that only by applying
a combination of proper diagnostic tools can one
gain a deep insight into the properties of carbon
nanostructures/
This is why the magazine publications reporting
on studies of the properties of carbon nanostructures
are largely prepared by scientists specializing
in various areas of physics and chemistry, which
reflects the interdisciplinary character of carbon
nanostructure research.
The conference/school will be held on July 8,
2009, in the course of the 9th International Conference
"Fullerenes and Atomic Clusters".
Co-chairs: Academician of the Russian Academy
of Sciences, Professor G. F. Tereshchenko
Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of
Sciences, Professor M. V. Kovalchuk
The Conference Programme includes 8 invited talks
and a poster session which will present reports
of young scientists (the term “young scientist”
implies that the age of the scientist does not
exceed 28 years by the beginning of the conference)
on diagnostics of carbon nanostructures.
One-page Abstracts of reports (only of the young
scientists) to the Conference/School should be
sent by e-mail: IWFAC@mail.ioffe.ru and marked
"For School".
Deadline for submission of abstracts is March
30, 2009. The best poster report will be awarded
a prize.
