The physical properties of nano and nanostructured materials are often
significantly different from those of bulk or homogeneous systems. In this
session we will look at how molecular modelling, simulation and theory
are able to probe nanoscale properties. This information can be used to
understand important physical phenomena such as wetting, adsorption,
fluid flow and charge transport on small scales and hence help in the
design of nanomaterials. Papers are invited in all areas of the physical
chemistry of nanomaterials.
Papers from this special session, along with selected papers from the
ICCN will appear in the journal Molecular Simulation, Taylor & Francis.

With the size of the electronic devices becoming comparable to that of
molecular systems, nano and molecular electronics become competing
alternatives for future electronics. Theoretical methods used in both
fields are rather similar in their mathematical form and in their
shortcomings. Experiments are difficult to do and to interpret. The
focus session will provide a forum to discuss the future of the
electronics research, and is meant to highlight the importance of
novel theoretical/computational approaches to electronics in the
nano-meter scale. Papers modeling nanostructures using ab initio
(quantum chemistry and solid state physics), tight-binding, molecular
dynamics and other approaches are welcome. Papers are solicited
including (but not limited to) the following areas:
- molecular electronics
- computational nanoelectronics
- silicon, BN and carbon nanotubes
- DNA transport
- full band modeling in quantum transport
- novel nano-scale device structures
- modeling of molecular scale logic gates
