2024:

1st Workshop ‚Nanoimaging and nanofabrication: seeing at the nanometer scale’

Hangzhou, P. R. China, 08-12 September, 2024

Venue and time plan:

Westlake University, Hangzhou, P. R. China

08 September: Registration and Welcome Reception

09 - 12 September: Workshop Presentation

About the workshop:

The workshop is organized by Professor Dai Zhang (Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany) and Professor Jiyong Wang (Westlake University, P. R. China) within the framework of a Sino-German Mobility programme.

The workshop aims at promoting the scientific exchanges in the frontiers of nanospectroscopy and nanofabrication.  We wish to highlight the rapid experimental and theoretical advances of this burgeoning interdisciplinary field, as well as to provide an account of its peculiar challenges and future prospects. Advances in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of optical resolution at the nanometer and Angstrom regime, novel simulation methods, and applications of these fundamental mechanisms are the main components. Furthermore, this workshop aims at promoting novel fabrication techniques which allow to reproduce the nano- or pico-scale environment for the near-field confinement, which deem to improve or open up new horizontal of the research topics in the field of nanooptics, nanofabrication and meta surface.

Topics:

Topics of interest include but are not limited to

  · Experimental technique and theoretical model for super-resolution tip-enhanced optical spectroscopy

  · Nano-fabrication (e.g. ice lithography and other modern fabrication techniques) for metasurface and directed light propagation

2017: Taiwan-Germany Workshop: Ultrafast laser spectroscopy and high-resolution optical imaging of plasmonics and molecular systems

The workshop is supported by the Institutional Strategy of the University of Tübingen (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, ZUK 63).

Organized by PD Dr. Dai Zhang, Prof. Alfred J. Meixner, Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, MNF, University of Tübingen

Prof. Shi-Wei Chu, Department of Physics, National Taiwan University

Scope:

This workshop will bring together the expertise from National Taiwan University and Eberhard Karls University in the regard of investigating interactions between light and complex systems with nanometer spatial and ultrafast temporal resolutions. The strategic goals are

  1. to strengthen the existed scientific contacts between the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry of EKUT and the Department of Physics of National Taiwan University;
  2. to pursue more comprehensive and multidisciplinary collaborations between EKUT and National Taiwan University. The workshop will impact on improving the international visibility of EKUT.
