International Symposium on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology

November 29-December 4, 2009

Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii, USA

This is the second in a series of joint conferences, following the previous one held in Waikaloa, Hawaii, in December 2007. These conferences bring together the the series of New Phenomena in Mesoscopic Structures (NPMS) and the the series of Surfaces and Interfaces of Mesoscopic Devices (SIMD). This second conference will be held on the island of Maui, at the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa, situated atop Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach. The conference will be held November 29-December 4, 2009, and will be a single 5-day conference with morning and evening sessions, and afternoon ad hoc sessions.

Scope of the Conference

The scope of ISANN spans nano-fabrication through complex phase coherent mesoscopic systems including nano-transistors and nano-scale characterization. Topics of interest include:

• Nano-scale fabrication (high-resolution electron lithography, FIB nano-patterning SFM lithography, SFM stimulated growth, novel patterning, nano-imprint lithography, special etching, and SAMs)
• Nano-characterization (SFM characterization, BEEM, optical studies of nanostructures, tunneling, properties of discrete impurities, phase coherence, noise, THz studies, electro-luminescence in small structures)
• Nano-devices (ultra-scaled FETs, quantum SETs, RTDs, ferromagnetic, and spin devices, superlattice arrays, IR detectors with quantum dots and wires, quantum point contacts, non-equilibrium transport, simulation, ballistic transport, molecular electronic devices, carbon nanotubes, spin selection devices, spin-coupled quantum dots, nano-magnetics)
• Quantum coherent transport (quantum Hall effect, ballistic quantum systems, quantum computing implementations and theory, magnetic spin systems, quantum NEMs)
• Mesoscopic structures (quantum wires and dots, chaos, non-equilibrium transport, instabilities, nano-electro-mechanical systems, mesoscopic Josephson effects, phase coherence and breaking, Kondo effect)
• Systems of nano-devices (QCAs, systolic SET processors, quantum neural nets, adaptive effects in circuits, molecular circuits, NEMs)
• Nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanowires, organic and molecular materials, self-assembled nanowires, organic devices)
• Nano-bio-electronics (electronic properties of biological structures on the nanoscale)
• Nanostructures for advanced energy applications

Registration

This information will be provided at a late date.

Conference Venue

The conference will be held at the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa, in the Kaanapali Beach Resort, on the west coast of Maui. This resort is a few miles north of the village of Lahaina. It is reached through the key airport of Kahului (OGG) in central Maui, which has direct flights from several west coast cities on several airlines. One can also reach the site via the West Maui airport which is served by flights to/from Honolulu. A block of rooms has been reserved, at the rate of $175 for run of ocean.

Conference Organization

TheOrganizing Committee will be:

To assist this group, the international advisory committee and program committee, most of whom have served in a similar capacity for one or the other conference, is:

This conference is supported by the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science through the 151 Committee.
