International Conference on Fundamental Processes in Semiconductor Nanocrystals

You are invited to participate in the International Conference of Fundamental Processes in Semiconductor Nanocrystals (FQDots16), that will take place from 5 to 6 September 2016 in Berlin,Germany.

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystalsexhibit electronic quantum-confinement in one-, two- or three dimensions, leading to unique physical and chemical properties. After two-decade long research, these properties can be rationally engineered through mature synthesis methods. Of tremendous interests are optical properties and charge transport in nanocrystal solids.

Questions also arise as to actual competitiveness of semiconductor nanocrystals in novel optoelectronic devices and in life sciences. Another pressing challenge is to extend all exciting findings obtained with toxic cadmium, lead, and mercury based nanocrystals to environmentally friendly materials. ThenanoGe meeting will bring together speakers that will discuss challenging problems in chemistry and physics of semiconductor nanocrystals.
