The Workshop
DYNAMICS OF ELECTRONS IN ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR NANOCLUSTERS
http://physics.usc.edu/deamn20/
will be held on July 10-16, 2020 in Erice (Sicily), Italy at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture, and you are invited to participate.

The motivation:
Electron dynamics governs a wide range of important effects in nanoscience. Nanoclusters, as important testbed systems for exploring and developing quantum size effects, novel materials, and reaction pathways, exhibit a range of phenomena which are highly sensitive to electron mobility, response, transfer, emission and attachment, direct and exchange interactions, correlations, etc.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in adjacent fields in order to illuminate recent and future developments. To keep the discussion focused, it will  concentrate on free clusters and related systems.

The topics covered will be
Metallic, molecular and ionic clusters
Optical properties and spectroscopy
Storage rings, traps, laser cooling
Collisions, scattering, reactions
Excited states and relaxation
Attachment and evaporation
Quantum fluid clusters
Solvated electrons
Nanomagnetism

The program will include invited talks, selected oral presentations, a poster session and ample time for individual discussions. It is especially hoped that graduate and diploma students, postdoctoral researchers, and anyone who is interested in the interdisciplinary richness of
the subject will benefit from the Workshop.
