Support for 5th International Workshop on Nanotube Optics and Nanospectroscopy (WONTON 2013) in Santa Fe, NM, USA; Summer 2013

纳米管和石墨烯光学领域最近出现了一些令人振奋的发展。这一领域的最新进展不仅拓宽了我们对碳纳米结构的光学性质及其新应用潜力的认识，还引发了关于根本感兴趣的问题以及更多技术问题的激烈讨论。NSF的资金将用于为研究生提供部分支持，并邀请演讲者参加2013年6月16日至20日在美国新墨西哥州圣达菲举行的第五届纳米管光学和纳米光谱国际研讨会(2013年云吞)。这次为期四天的研讨会将汇聚世界各国领导人和年轻的研究人员，讨论与纳米管和石墨烯光谱有关的最新进展和发现。它将包括26个受邀演讲和约70个投稿演讲和海报演示。它的小尺寸和对纳米管和石墨烯光谱的关注将为年轻和成熟的研究人员之间富有成效和刺激的互动提供一个理想的论坛。

The field of nanotube and graphene optics has recently witnessed some exciting developments. The recent advances in this field have not only broadened our horizon regarding the optical properties of carbon nanostructures and their potential towards new applications, they have also stimulated intense discussions regarding issues of fundamental interest as well as more technical issues. NSF funds will be used to provide partial support for graduate students and invited speakers to attend the 5th International Workshop on Nanotube Optics and Nanospectroscopy (WONTON 2013) in Santa Fe, NM, USA., June 16-20, 2013. This four-day workshop will bring together world leaders and young researchers to discuss recent advances and discoveries related to the spectroscopy of nanotubes and graphene. It will feature 26 invited talks and about 70 contributed talks and poster presentations. Its small size and focus on nanotube and graphene spectroscopy will provide an ideal forum for fruitful and stimulating interactions among young and established researchers.
