Scope and Topics
   Functional and/or functionalizable nanostructures, such as fullerenes 
and nanotubes of all kinds or nanocrystalline and nanocomposite materials,
are very important for applications in (materials) science, 
(nano)technology, and (nano)medicine, among many others.
   For all these applications, understanding at a fundamental level is 
very important, since nanocomposite and nanocrystalline materials exhibit 
a variety of unique physical and chemical properties resulting from the 
interplay of quantum confinement and electronic correlation. In order to 
design functional nanomaterials with desired properties and fabricate 
nanodevices with predictable behavior, it is critical to understand their 
structural and electronic properties on a fundamental quantum mechanical 
level. This could further allow for tunable manipulation of the resulting 
nanosystems.
   Nanostructures such as core and core/shell nanocrystals, fullerenes and 
nanotubes of all kinds, nanowires, nanolines, nanorods, as well as 
synthetic, nanocomposite, porous, metal-organic framework, and 
semiconductor-organic framework materials, will be considered among others, 
and the latest developments will be discussed and analyzed in this workshop. 
In addition theoretical and computational techniques appropriate for large 
systems (such as multiscale approaches and atomistic calculations and 
simulations) as well as theoretical, computational, or even experimental 
works related (directly or indirectly) with these topics are welcome.
