VII  International Summer School   “Nicolás Cabrera”

Imaging and Manipulation of Matter at the Nanometer Scale

Residencia La Cristalera, Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid, Spain)
11-15 September, 2000

Directors:
F. Flores
M. Salmerón

Secretary:
R. Pérez (UAM) / P. de Andres (ICMM-CSIC)

Objectives

The school will consist of a pedagogical introduction and talks about recent developments in scanning probe microscopies (STM,AFM) and related problems like: manipulation of atoms and molecules, chemical reactivity, friction, nanocontacts, SNOM and BEEM.
Our aim is to provide a broad forum of discussion of recent problems in the field, in a way accessible and useful to young students, as well as to stimulate discussions among theoreticians and experimentalists.

Participants

This International School is primarily addressed to young researchers from the field of Condensed Matter, including Materials Science and other fields of Surface Science. The maximum number of participants is 80, including about 20 invited lecturers, international experts in each matter. Some scholarships will be provided for students (covering full board and lodging at the Residence) their number depending on the financial support finally obtained.

Program
