M4NANO 1day Symposium: Modelling for Nanotechnologies
Tuesday June 24 2008

Scope
This One-day M4NANO workshop will focus on the grand challenges of simulation of ultimate Silicon-based devices, carbon nanotubes, semiconducting nanowires, two-dimensional graphene-based materials, molecular crystals, or biomimetic materials (artificial DNA).
The understanding and engineering of such materials and devices increasingly demand for more realistic simulation of atomic-scale features (material interfaces, chemical heterogeneity,…) as well as for sophisticated treatment of quantum physics (interactions, many-body effects, non-equilibrium phenomena,...), which will ultimately fully dominate the underlying device characteristics, novel functionalities design, and circuitry performances.
