CALL FOR PAPERS     - Summary,Plenary Talk, and Area scope -

All kinds of applications using nanotubes & nanowires are included in the scope of this sub-committee. Nanotubes &nanowires, e.g., carbon nanotube, BN nanotube, Si nanowire, compound semiconductor nanowire, layered nanowire, etc. are all included. Applications using nanotubes & nanowires in the scope are as follows:(1) active electronic and optical devices, e.g., FET, HEMT, optical transistor, optical switch, and quantum devices including single electron transistor (SET), SET logics, resonant tunneling devices, quantum computing devices and so on; (2) all kinds of sensors, e.g., bio sensors, gas sensors, pressure sensors, acceleration sensors and so on; (3) application for passive elements, e.g., wiring & via technology for future LSI and so on;(4) nanomechanical application, e.g., probe applications for STM/AFM, tweezers, motors, oscillators and so on;(5) fundamental research related to those applications of nanotube & nanowire, e.g., new growth technology, analysis of growth mechanism, new device fabrication process and so on; (6) new evaluation technology, e.g., TEM, SEM, Raman scattering, photo luminescence and so on; (7) theoretical analysis of device physics, new physics in the nanotube & nanowire, e.g., Tomonaga liquid, one dimensional quantum transport and so on.
