Proceedings of nanoGe September Meeting 2017 (NFM17)
Publication date: 20th June 2016
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) with controlled composition, size, and shape and surface functionalization provide ideal building blocks for the assembly of new 2D materials and devices. Monodisperse colloidal NCs serve as "artificial atoms" with tunable electronic, and optical properties that can be assembled on the “Mesoscale” to yield properties that combine the best attributes of the isolated quantum systems and the extended electronic transport of traditional semiconductor thin films. In this talk, we will briefly outline progress in synthesis, purification, and integration of size and shape controlled single phase NCs as well as core-shell and heterostructure NCs into 2D arrays through liquid air interfacial assembly and scalable dipcoating processes. Chemical tailoring of NC shape and ligand structure can program the assembly of NC 2D sheets and thin films. The coupling between the NC building blocks can be modified further by exchange of the surface stabilizing ligands to direct the orientation and linking of neighboring NCs. The modular assembly of these NCs allows the desirable features of their underlying quantum character to be retained, or even enhanced by the interactions between the NCs and the hybridization drives the emergence of new delocalized properties.The electronic and optical properties of these coupled systems will be probed through a combination of direct electrical and non-contact optical techniques. Progress in devices and circuits based on these will be shared.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
