Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to participate in the International Conference on Charge Carrier Dynamics at the Nanoscale (CCDNano16), that will take place from 12 to 13 September 2016 in Berlin, Germany.

Registration is open at http://www.nanoge.org/CCDNano16/index.php, with a deadline due on the 27th of May 2015 for oral contributions and early registrations.

Summary:
Unraveling the nature of charge carrier dynamics taking place at the nanoscale is of pivotal interest for many different scientific disciplines. Furthermore, from a practical point of view, tuning charge transfer, recombination and transport in organic and inorganic nanocomposites and bulk materials represents a the key aspect for the further optimization of novel nanostructured-based applications (e.g. solar cells, batteries, sensors, molecular electronics, catalysts...). The CCDNano meeting will bring together experts from different scientific fields in order to trigger interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations. We expect this conference to serve as a platform in order to share, advance and potentially unify methodologies and theories from different research sub-fields. Ultimately, the aim of the conference is to break the boundaries between chemistry, physics, biology and engineering concerning the nature of charge transfer, recombination and transport processes taking place at the nanoscale.

Topics to be covered by the conference:
  • Molecular electronics
  • Interfacial charge transfer and transport in nanocomposites
  • Defects and recombination in organic and inorganic nanocomposites and bulk semiconductors
  • Exciton, charge transfer state and polaron dynamics in donor:acceptor systems
  • Theory of charge transport and recombination in organic and inorganic nanocomposites
  • Energy transfer in organic and inorganic nanocomposites
  • Technological implications and perspectives for novel nanostructured-based devices (e.g. solar cells, batteries, sensors, electronics, catalysts,...).
