10th European School on Molecular Nanoscience
5th Workshop on 2D Materials
El Escorial (Madrid, Spain) 7th – 12th May 2017
FIRST CIRCULAR: Announcement and pre-registration.
PRESENTATION
The molecular region of Nanoscience is still a region that has been scarcely explored in Nanoscience, maybe because the larger structural and electronic complexity of molecules, compared with that found in simpler atom-based nano-objects and nanostructures, make them more difficult to study at the nanoscale with the currently available instrumental techniques. Albeit, it is in this molecular region where molecular chemists, biologists, physicists and engineers working in Nanoscience may find the best opportunities to interact and to converge. Areas like supramolecular chemistry, molecular electronics and molecular magnetism are expected to converge in this region.
The tenth European School on Molecular Nanoscience (ESMolNa2017) intends to provide a suitable framework to show and extensively discuss the state-of-the-art in these multidisciplinary areas. Lectures are aimed at the post-graduate level as they will be presented to an audience primarily formed by post-graduate, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. In fact, the School will be the last part of an intensive Advanced Course of three weeks organized in the frame of a European Master in Molecular Nanoscience. This meeting also intends to be a forum where the active European scientific groups working in these areas will have the opportunity to meet and informally discuss with the younger generations.
This training school is organized by the Instituto de Ciencia Molecular (ICMol) of the Universitat de València, the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the COST Action MOLSPIN: Molecular Spintronics (Action Number: CA15128).
The fifth Workshop on 2D Materials (W2DM2017) will take place on May 11st and 12th, having the first day a joint program with ESMolNa2017.
Graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials represent one of the priority areas of the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission for the next ten years, as shown by the 'Graphene flagship'. Due to the exceptional mechanical and electronic properties of graphene, research about this material has been at the forefront of this area during the last years. However, since graphene is not a semiconductor, its electronic applications are limited. For that reason, other 2D materials, like metal dichalcogenides or layered coordination compounds, are starting to be studied. In these materials a wide range of properties can be insulated, including superconductivity and magnetism. The research community exploring graphene and other 2D materials is increasing recently, due to the incorporation of researchers from a variety of fields like materials science, physics, chemistry and electronic engineering. Moreover, there is a big interest in the construction of functional devices based on 2D materials, including their integration with graphene. During the W2DM2017 collaboration among participant researchers will be promoted, in order to face the huge scientific challenges encountered in this field, both from an experimental and theoretical point of view.
The talks will be held at the 'Real Centro Universitario Escorial-María Cristina' in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid, Spain) where attendants will be also hosted.
General_lectures (50 min+ 10 min discussion): This part will deal with the essential aspects of Molecular Nanoscience on the topics i) Supramolecular Chemistry in Nanoscience; ii) Concepts, materials and applications of Molecular Electronics; iii) Single-Molecule Electronics; iv) Molecular Nanomagnetism; v) Molecule-based Spintronics.
