The self-assembled growth of nanowires is presently a highly active research area, with a rapidly increasing amount of experimental data and theoretical modelling becoming available. However, the basic principles and mechanisms behind nanowire growth are still not completely understood. This workshop will cover topics related to the fundamental growth mechanism of Au seeded nanowires, addressing also issues such as crystalline defects, doping and morphology of the nanowires. Further the workshop will explore novel approaches to nanowire self-assembly using other metals than Au or completely metal-free growth. It is the aim of this workshop to stimulate discussions and understanding of the general mechanisms and structural features behind self-assembled nanowire growth within the wide range of materials systems studied by many different SANDiE partners. Besides discussing the materials systems where SANDiE partners are already in the international forefront we will also cover growth of for example nitride nanowires, where several groups are currently setting up new activities. The workshop will include both experimental studies and theoretical modelling. The workshop will focus on generating lively discussion, thus generous time will be given between each oral presentation, and we will encourage further interaction at common lunch and dinner arrangements. To have a good discussions forum we will limit the number of attendants to 50-60.
The workshop, including meals, is completely free of charge!
