Abstract

The physics of nanoscale materials and the devices based on them has now become an important area for research and development in both academic and industry laboratories&#046; The iNOW 2008 workshop will engage participants in considerations of state&#8211;of&#8211;the&#8211;art nanoscale semiconductor processing and synthesis, the new physics of tailoring material&#8242;s optical and electrical properties, new advances in characterization techniques, and new devices with novel functionalities&#046; Tutorial&#8211;style lectures on the key areas of nano&#8211;photonics by eminent scientists from Japan, Germany, China, Korea, Russia, Sweden, and the United States comprise the core of the workshop&#046; Three rump sessions will expose and discuss the various perspectives of the experienced researchers&#046; Four poster sessions will present the work of international students and postdoctoral fellows&#046; Two of the poster sessions will be held jointly with the annual Symposium on Optical Communications&#8211;an important event attended by many leaders in the Japanese optoelectronics industry as well as national academia&#8211;allowing the work of young scientists to reach an influential audience&#046; The student poster presentations, rump sessions, specially arranged tours of company labs, and excursions that include a full day on Mt&#046; Fuji (highlighting the Yamanashi Winery) as well as a day trip to Kamakura insure participants ample time for interaction and in&#8211;depth discussions&#046; The iNOW 2008 workshop promises opportunities for intense interaction&#8211;inspiring presentations, exciting discussions, and invigorating debates&#046; We hope and expect that your experiences here will stimulate future collaborations and spark future breakthroughs&#046;<br><span style=&#8243;font&#8211;size: 10pt;
