Introduction

     Nanoscience and nanotechnology have been the focus of science and technology in the twenty first century and they provide many promising opportunities of new important findings of fundamental and technological interests. With this workshop, we wish to share our understanding of the fundamental physical properties of the low dimensional systems and nanostructures based on our experimental and theoretical investigations.

     We also wish to seek opportunities of collaboration between experimentalists and theorists and between theorists to promote domestic researches in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

     This workshop will include carbon based nanomaterials, molecular electronics, bio systems, semiconductor nanowires/nanorods, metallic clusters on metal surfaces, theoretical methodology, nanoscale ferroelectric films, etc. However, all our colleagues, who wish to participate and contribute a talk, are  welcome and they can contact Prof. Min-Hsiung Tsai of National Sun Yat-Sen University (e-mail: tsai@mail.phys.nsysu.edu.tw; phone: (07) 525 3729).
