Chemical Coding at the Atomic Scale: Designing Hybrid and Quantum Nanostructures for Applications in Optical Biosensing, Light Harvesting, Chiral Catalysis, and More

International Workshop
19 - 23 August 2024

Why Chemical Coding? Chemical coding refers to tailoring the functionality of a material at the atomic level. It is critical for innumerable materials technologies including, for example, semiconductor heterostructures for electronics and optoelectronics (e.g. GaAs-AlAs, GaN-InGaN, Si-SiO2), the development of drugs and bio-testing systems (e.g. antigen gold-nanoparticle strips for Covid 2019 virus detection), and many others. We will bring together world experts on the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials, with a focus on their optical and quantum properties, as well as many young promising researchers.

Topics include

  • Physical properties of nanocrystals with the structure controlled at the atomic level
  • Multi-component nanoscale objects assembled using bio-coding
  • Many-body interactions between building blocks in such assemblies
  • Resulting optical, light-harvesting, and sensor applications
  • Chiral nanocrystals for biosensing
  • Theoretical models including a wide spectrum of theoretical methods: ab initio approaches such as density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), molecular dynamics (MD), and model- and field-theory-Hamiltonians
