Workshop on ultrafast phenomena at surfaces

Workshops

When

2002/07/01 - 2002/07/05

Place

Donostia - San Sebastián

Organizers

Prof. P. M. Echenique y Prof. A. Rubio

Add to calendar

Scope of the Workshop:

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers with backgrounds in theory and experiments in order to assess the present state of our understanding of ultrafast phenomena and atomic control at interfaces in condensed matter, surface science, chemistry, and biology. The idea is to contrast both theoretical and experimental studies to gain insight and establish new links and future collaborations.

This workshop will be of special interest to researchers conducting theoretical or experimental studies on electron/ion dynamics in

• surfaces
• catalysis
• molecular electronics
• semicondutors
• biophysics......
