The Second International Workshop on Plasma-Tailored Nanostructures and Applications (SWOPTAN) focuses on scientific and technological topics related to fundamental surface nanoscience and applications of plasmas and related approaches to plasma processing, as well as micro- and nanofabrication.
This conference aims to provide a forum for extensive and in-depth bilateral discussions related to specific problems and create more opportunities for collaborations between the leaders and experts in the field and developing an international leadership for the next-generation plasma-based technologies. The workshop is planned as a small-scale expert meeting with open participation to early-career researchers and students and will include overviews of some of the most important research directions in this field followed by comments and detailed discussions of the main challenges and strategic directions for the future development given by leaders in relevant areas. It is also planned to develop a coordinated international approach towards achieving the stronger impact of this research field on the emerging advanced plasma technologies.
Research topics covered:
- Fundamental topics related processing using non-equilibrium plasmas
- Elementary processes of plasma-surface interactions and processing
- Physical and chemical mechanisms using plasma-based and related processes
- Self-assembly and self-organisation on plasma-exposed surfaces
- Surface science of plasma-exposed surfaces
- Other aspects of plasma nanoscience
- Plasma processing of soft matter and polymers
- Synthesis of quantum dots, nanowires, nanotubes and nanorods
- Plasma designed nanodevices
- Design of plasmonic surfaces
- Plasmonic nanostructures and applications
- Any other relevant topics
Social program:
As one of the most vital parts of the conference is to provide the corresponding program that includes the surrounding environment. Therefore, in SWOPTAN we will organise thematic evening events and joint discussions with networking. The growth of carbon nanostructures including graphene
