Dear colleagues,
the deadline for abstract submission to the APS March Meeting 2006 is
approaching (Nov-30). In an earlier message you might remember that Roger
Miller and I announced a Division of Chemical Physics Special Symposium
on "Aerosols, Clusters and Droplets: Physics and Chemistry of Nanoobjects"
(APS March Meeting, March 13-17, 2006 in Baltimore). As you might know
Roger passed away, unbelievable for all of us. In agreement with the APS
this Symposium will be held as an informal "Roger Miller Memorial",
commemorating Roger and his outstanding scientific work. It would be great
if relevant work from your group could feature in the symposium and we
wish to encourage you and/or your postdocs/graduate students/students to
submit a contributed paper for oral presentation. Furthermore, it will be
important for the field of clusters, droplets and aerosols to emphasize
its importance by having numerous contributions.
The symposium will bring together researchers from a number of important
fields of physics and chemistry, dealing with the study of nanoscaled
atomic and molecular clusters. Particular emphasis is given to:
(1) metal clusters as model systems for studying bulk properties,
including the onset of conductivity, magnetism and reactivity with
increasing size,
(2) quantum clusters, including hydrogen and doped helium nanodroplets,
their physical, photophysical and chemical properties at low temperatures,
(3) molecular clusters, including structure, dynamics and reactivity.
(4) aerosols
The symposium will cover both experiment and theory. Applications of these
studies to biochemistry, atmospheric science, catalysis and materials
science will be emphasized.
Abstract submission has to be done through:

Papers are to be submitted to the Division of Chemical Physics (DCP) under
the sorting category number 11.8.2
