International Conference on Charge Transfer and Transport at the Nanoscale (CTTN15) - 13-15 September 2015 in Santiago de Compostela, Spain (UNESCO World Heritage City since 1985)

Registration is open at http://www.nanoge.org/CTTN15/index.php, with a deadline due on the 15th of June 2015 for both oral and poster contributions.

Summary:
Unraveling the nature of charge transfer and transport processes taking place at the nanoscale is of pivotal interest for many different scientific disciplines. Furthermore, from a practical point of view, tuning charge transfer and transport through homo- or hetero- interfaces represents one of the key aspects for the further optimization of novel nanostructured-based applications (e.g. solar cells, batteries, sensors, electronics, catalyst,…). This nanoGe meeting will bring together experts from different 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 and transport processes taking place at the nanoscale.

Topics to be covered by the conference:
- Mechanism and rate of charge transfer across interfaces
- Electron transfer processes in donor-acceptor and donor-bridge-acceptor systems
- Charge transport in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems
- The role of disorder in charge transport and transfer
- Theoretical models/simulations of charge transport and transfer at the nanoscale
- Novel experimental tools to monitor charge transfer/transport at the nanoscale
- Technological implications and perspectives for novel nanostructured-based devices (e.g. solar cells, batteries, sensors, electronic devices, catalysts,…).
