Workshop 4:
Nanoscience B
Self-assembly--From Molecules to
Materials
Co-organizer:
Lin Chen and Paul Fenter
Bldg. 402, APS Conference Center Lecture Hall
Themes:
The concept of self-assembly, in essence a bottoms up approach to nanoscience, has impacted a number of diverse fields ranging from biology to materials science. In this workshop, fundamental aspects of self-assembly are discussed ranging from molecular, monolayer and materials systems. This workshop highlights the use of various X-ray-based approaches for understanding the process of self-assembly and properties of various self-assembled systems.

Self-assembling
monolayers of thiols on gold are stable, easy to
prepare and VERY useful. With respect to their
characterization, however, they come straight from
hell. Giacinto Scoles, Princeton University |
