Description: 
  In addition to carbon and silicon, germanium, tin, and in part 
lead can form many functional and important nanostructures, nanocrystals, 
and nanoclusters, which can be further functionalized by tailoring suitable 
key-properties according to specific needs. Such systems, and in particular 
hollow structures such as nanotubes and nanocages, are currently of great 
interest in science and technology with applications ranging from 
optoelectronics to biotechnology. 
  Simple and mixed nanosystems such as silicon, carbon, germanium, 
silicon-carbon Fullerenes (cages) nanotubes and nanowires all the way to 
organometallic silicon and germanium structures, stannaspherene and 
plumbaspherene will be considered and the latest developments will be 
discussed and analyzed in this workshop. All theoretical, computational, 
or even experimental works related (directly or indirectly) with these 
topics are welcome. 
  Special emphasis will be placed on calculations and/or approaches which 
bring up the similarities and differences between various systems and 
methods, as well as on unifying principles and concepts relating these 
systems to each other and to other groups.
