Quantum Physics of Nanostructures
18^th to 20^th September, 2006

This is the second Nanoscale Physics and Technology Workshop organised by the Nanoscale Physics and Technology Group of the Institute of Physics, following the successful meeting in Daresbury, January 2005. The deadline for registration is Thursday the 27th of July. Registration for the workshop is now open, using this form. The theme of the second workshop is "Quantum Physics of Nanostructures". The two day meeting will feature 8 invited talks (see below), plus contributed talks and posters, on the distinctive quantum effects arising on the 1 - 100 nm length scale, e.g., in small particles and their assemblies, quantum dots, nanowires and at local sites on surfaces. Confirmed Invited Speakers STM-based spectroscopies of electronic states at surfaces, single atoms and molecules Richard Berndt Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, University of Kiel, Germany Electronic confinement and coherence in patterned epitaxial graphene Walt de Heer School of Physics,Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, USA Quantum effects in size-selected clusters Peter Lievens Department of Physics and Astronomy, K.U. Leuven, Belgium Magnetism in Nano-Structured Materials Ward Plummer Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Tennesse, USA Vortex structures in quantum dots Stephanie Reimann Mathematical Physics, Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden Optical Properties and Optical Applications of Gold Nanoparticles Vahid Sandoghdar Nano-Optics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland Controlling the Electronic Structure of Bilayer Graphene Taisuke Ohta Department of Molecular Physics, Fritz Haber Institute, Germany   The deadline for submission of abstracts has now passed. If you wish to submit a late abstract, please contact the Workshop Chair directly. Abstracts should not exceed 1 page A4, should be prepared in Word or RTF format. Registration is free as a result of financial support from the Group, but essential. The deadline for registration is Thursday the 27th of July. Please register using this form. We will then email details for booking the hotel and the required booking code for the workshop rate to you. Note that numbers are limited and registration will be on a first come first served basis. The meeting will be held at the historic Falcon Hotel in Stratford upon Avon. A special single room rate for the duration of the conference beginning with dinner on Sept 18th and ending at 6pm on Sept 20th, inclusive of all meals will be £242, whilst a twin room, also inclusive, will cost £352 (£176 per person). Accomodation should be arranged directly with the hotel once registration has been accepted. Attendance on a "day only" basis is not possible. Organising Committee R.E. Palmer, Z.Y. Li, A.
