Conference Goal...
The goal of this joint seminar is to provide a cross-disciplinary and international forum for discussion and presentation of the latest results in the area of nanoscale thermal science and engineering. Both Japan and the USA are deeply committed to the emerging fields of nanoscale science and engineering. This seminar will present an opportunity to share the knowledge in the area of nanoscale thermophysics and energy conversion. Examples of this include
- transport and interactions between electrons, phonons, and photons in low-dimensional nanostructures (semiconductor superlattices, nanowires, quantum dots)
- novel thermoelectric and optoelectronic phenomena and devices using nanostructured materials `
- thin film growth and cluster formation
- thermodynamics of self assembly and molecular interactions
- experimental techniques involving extremes of length and time scales (scanning probe microscopy, femtosecond laser diagnostics)
- molecular dynamic and Monte Carlo simulations of energy conversion and transport of nanostructures.
