Materials Science research is now entering a new phase where the structure and properties of materials can be investigated, characterized and controlled at the nanoscale. New physical phenomena appear at this scale, giving rise to unexpected materials properties, thus bringing new excitement to this research field. This IAP activity will consist of five 1.5hr sessions devoted to introducing the field of one-dimensional materials, carbon-nanotubes and metal or seminconductor nanowires because they, in particular, exhibit unusual physical properties, due to their reduced dimensionality and their enhanced surface / volume ratio. These unusual properties have attracted interest in their potential for applications in novel electronic, optical, magnetic and thermoelectric devices. Prof. M. Dresselhaus will teach the first three lectures, followed by 6 talks scheduled for the last two days. These talks will be given by MIT researchers actively involved in the investigation of these extraordinary materials. For syllabus and talk abstracts please see web.mit.edu/ibita/www/MRS/ Event Sponsored by the Materials Research Society chapter at MIT, and DMSE.
