Symposium EE: Applications of Nanotubes and Nanowires

Session Topics | Invited Speakers | Organizers

Abstract Submission Guidelines

Nanotubes and nanowires are emerging as key components for applications in nanoscale electronics, optics, optoelectronics, photonics, sensors, biomedical diagnostics, genomics, proteomics, and pharmaceutical delivery. They even offer the prospect of complete nanoscale systems compatible with photonics, plasmonics, and electronics. For example, semiconducting nanowires can function as a lasing light source, a light conduit, and a photodetector. The achievement of reliable devices and systems for applications requires interrogation and control of their fundamental electronic and optical properties, which are especially sensitive to their chemical and physical surface structure. Understanding and control of these properties require improved control of their dimensions, composition, surface chemical functionalization, and directed assembly. Of particular interest is how these properties differ for a given material on bulk vs. nanoscale and the implications for their use in applications. This symposium focuses on the technical and scientific challenges which must be addressed for nanotube- and nanowire-based applications to achieve their potential.

Specific symposium subtopics include:

  • Functionalization, charge transfer, and redox chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Medical and clinical applications
  • Photonics, optics, and optoelectronics
  • Electronics
  • Sensors
