Ions in solids and liquids and at interfaces
============================================
ISLI 2000
=========
Florence Boot Hall, The University of Nottingham
Wednesday 5th - Thursday 6th January, 2000
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/chemistry/whatson/ions.html
Scope of the conference.
========================
The conference will focus on the molecular modelling of ions, including
solid and liquid ionic substances, ions in solution, and ions at
liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, gas-liquid and gas-solid interfaces.
The invited speakers have been chosen, in part, to encourage discussion of
work at the interface between classical simulation techniques and ab initio
electron structure theory.
This will be a 'workshop' style conference in which the emphasis will be on
presenting and discussing new applications, new techniques and new problems,
rather than a 'showcase' of published work. Postgraduate students are
particularly encouraged to attend, and a special rate is available.
The conference will begin with lunch on Wednesday, 5th January, and finish
at lunchtime on Thursday. There will be a poster session (with drinks) on
Wednesday evening.
Contributed talks and posters are welcomed. Please send a title and brief
abstract to one of the organisers. In keeping with the workshop style of
the conference, abstracts will not be published.
The Nottingham University campus is situated in parkland about 4 km west of
the city centre, alongside the main A52 road, which leaves the M1 motorway
at junction 25. Good public transport is also available, and East Midlands
airport is only 40 minutes away by road.
