The development of modern nanotechnologies is closely related to the development of new diagnostic techniques and to the improvement of diagnostic techniques already known.

The specific character of carbon nanostructures, which include different types of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, onions, nanographite and recently discovered graphenes, is related to the fact, that these objects have a size less than 10 nm, and sometimes they have a complicated structure of sp2/sp3 hybridized carbon atoms.

The additional complication occurs in case of need to define not only existence but also localization of impurity atoms on scale of several tens nanometers.

Besides, the mentioned carbon nanostructures can be synthesized not only in form of solid materials but also they exist in form of powders, suspensions and ashes, to investigate which we need to develop or modify diagnostics which where used before only for solid material investigations. The diagnostics of the mentioned objects in gas phase is a particular problem.

It is commonly accepted that only a complex of diagnostic techniques gives the possibility to get a true knowledge about the carbon nanostructures properties.

Just because of this, the most scientific papers, devoted to the investigation of the carbon nanostructures properties, are presented by the authors which are specialists in different fields of physics and chemistry, and this fact shows the interdisciplinary character of the carbon nanostructures investigations. The purpose of this conference-school is the extension of our knowledge about the carbon nanostructures diagnostic techniques.

The conference-school will be held on July 6 2011 in time of the International Conference "Modern Carbon Nanostructures".

The directors of School: Corresponding Member of RAS, Prof. V.V. Afrosimov and Corresponding Member of RAS, Prof. M.V. Kovalchuk.
The Program of Conference contains 7 invited reports and a poster session where the reports of young scientists (up to 28 years old), devoted to the carbon nanostructures diagnostic techniques, will be presented.

Only for young scientists: you can send the summary of the report for the conference-school in Russian and English in size of one page to ACN2011@mail.ioffe.ru with note "Abstract, For School". Please use Abstract template (http://www.ioffe.ru/ACN2011/2011/publ.html)
Deadline for abstract submission - March 30, 2011. The best young scientist poster presentation will be awarded.

The school lectures are available here:
