The Electronic Materials Conference (EMC) is the premier annual forum on the preparation and characterization of electronic materials. The conference will be held at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. The conference features a plenary session, parallel topical sessions, a poster session and an industrial exhibition.

Featured topics include enabling technologies, energy conversion and storage materials, nanoscale science and technology in materials, organic materials and thin-film technology, and wide bandgap materials.

Aims

Complementing the Faraday Discussions meeting on Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly (Chicago, USA, April 2015) which will focus on ordered superlattice arrays of ligand-passivated inorganic clusters, with applications related to size scalability and processing, this meeting will emphasise the importance of considering both ordered and disordered assemblies, and the translation of fundamental science to applications. The scope of the Discussion will include chemically distinct classes of nanoparticle assemblies - polymer nanocomposites, patchy colloids, ligand-passivated inorganic nanocrystals - and link them with soft matter systems, with a view to understanding some of the basic principles of nanoparticle assembly and how they affect practical applications. The topic is particularly appropriate for the Faraday Discussions format with the possibility of documenting an interesting cross-fertilization of ideas.

Themes

• Synthesis and Assembly of Nanoparticles and their Assemblies
  
  
• Modeling and Theory
  
  
• Nanocomposites
  
  
• Applications to Soft Matter

Bridging the Gap from Free Clusters to Functional Nanostructures

The fundamental properties of small particles, and their potential for groundbreaking applications, are among the most exciting areas of research in modern physics, chemistry, and biology. The 2015 Gordon Conference focuses on the intimate interplay between the properties of clusters over a wide size range and their translation into supported nanoparticles, so bridging the gap from free clusters to functional nanostructures.

The traditional interdisciplinary nature of this Conference will be preserved. Fundamental questions, such as cluster formation, geometric structure, electronic structure, magnetism, optical properties, chemical reactivity, and alloying in the gas phase will complement topics crucial to applications, such as cluster support interactions and functional behavior in catalysis, optical labeling, cluster assembled materials, nano-engineering, etc.
