Scope:
Materials modification using various quantum beam irradiations is gaining recognition as a family of the promising technologies with high potential for effective control of the structural arrangements at nanometer length-scales and for creation of novel structures which no conventional thermal-processing has ever attained.
This symposium covers the recent experimental and theoretical advances in the study of various atomic processes in bulk, surface and nanosystems induced and/or enhanced by various excitations, together with new observation techniques. A focus will be on 1) novel phenomena or structures induced by excitations, 2) the transient dynamic behavior of the materials after excitations, and 3) new techniques to observe and control the excitation-induced processes with high spatial resolution, efficiency and selectivity. Interdisciplinary discussions in the symposium will give us deep understandings on the underlying mechanisms and also show us how to achieve novel functionalities in excited-materials and novel materials processing unachievable by conventional techniques.
Topics:
- fundamental physics in excitation-induced processes (exclude mere thermal process)
- materials modification (structural change, phase transition, diffusion, desorption, ablation, etc) induced by various quantum beams, including laser (visible, IR, UV), X-ray, SR, electron beam, probe excitation, ….
- observations of ultra-fast phenomena caused by excitations
- molecular dynamics under electronic excitations
- manipulation of atoms and molecules in solids and on surfaces
- synthesis, self-assembly, self-organization and bottom-up processes induced by excitations
- novel excitation sources and reaction fields for nanofabrication
- breakthrough in nanopatterning and lithographic processes
