Low-dimensional material systems possessing at least one of their dimensions in the nanometer scale offer intriguing physical properties and undiscovered pathways toward revolutionary new device concepts for flexible and transparent electronics, photonics, quantum computing, and other advanced applications. Fabrication of quantum dots, nanowires, ultra-thin films, and heterostructures result in building blocks that reveal a wealth of interesting physical properties including quantum phenomena. Control of synthesis and processing at the nanometer scale offers unprecedented opportunities to tailor microscopic and macroscopic physical properties of such material systems. To further pursue these tremendous opportunities, many fundamental questions need to be addressed and technological barriers need to be overcome. This conference provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of synthesis, processing, characterization, and modeling of low-dimensional materials tailored to their unique physical properties. Design, fabrication, and characterization of novel device platforms that employ low-dimensional materials are also of interest, as well as interfacing and integration of such devices toward novel electronics, photonics, sensors, and energy conversion and storage.
