Subject: 11.06.19 <span class="fancysmall">Excited State Processes 2011, Santa Fe, NM, USA</span><br />

<pre>The Optical Probes Conference and Excited State Processes
Optical Probes of Conjugated Polymers and Organic Nanostructures
Excited State Processes in Electronic and Bio Nanomaterials
June 19, 2011 - June 24, 2011
Santa Fe Convention Center
201 W. Marcy
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501
USA


The scope of the current conference is a variety of excited state 
phenomena in technologically important materials and biosystems, 
including size-dependent and time-dependent electronic interactions,
excited state dynamics, quantum confinement, and carrier transport, 
emphasizing similarity of the phenomena rather than specifics of 
the systems.

Topics Include:

    * Organic and polymeric materials (photophysics, chemistry, and 
      dynamics)

    * Organic/polymeric electronic devices (energy transfer and charge 
      transport)

    * Carbon nanotubes (ultrafast processes and functional devices)

    * Organo-metallic complexes (excited state potentials and 
      photocatalysis)

    * Semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles (from novel 
      structures to novel physical phenomena)

    * Biosystems (conformations, energy/charge transport, spectroscopy 
      and photosynthesis)

    * Organic and inorganic nanostructured photovoltaic phenomena 
      (physics, chemistry, and devices)

    * Molecular and supramolecular ordered assembly at nanoscales

    * Energy transfer phenomena and chemico- and bio-sensors

    * Spin dynamics in organic systems


Limited support for junior researchers including postdocs and students is 
available.

We intend to support junior researchers (postdocs and students) who 
present at the OP2011/ESP2011 conference. Awards will be up to $500 
toward travel expenses (e.g. hotel and airfare). To apply to this 
funding, please:

1) Register and upload your abstract before May 15, taking an advantage 
   of early registration fee $200;

2) Send an e-mail to Sergei Tretiak with a brief explanation of financial 
   need and attach your abstract.
