Physics at the Nanoscale

Scientific Programme

The goal of the school is to present to the participating students a general view of Nanophysics and recent developments in a few selected areas. The technological advances that made it possible for the nanosciences to emerge as a discipline are in constant development. The technological implications, as well as the novel basic science, are of great importance and will be addressed in this school.

The following program selects some of the domains experiencing a fast development and will be taught by researchers of the Université de Strasbourg, as well as by colleges from France and the rest of Europe.

The programme of one week is organised in the following way:

  • About 15 lectures (see below) of 2 x 45 min
  • A Poster-session of the students presenting their research work (if applicable) or their university
  • A visit to the Centre of Functional Nanostructures of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
