Light-Matter Interaction at Nanoscale

IQF Blas Cabrera, CSIC Serrano, Madrid 23rd - 25th September 2024

 

Join us in Madrid for the second edition of the biennial LMI meeting, aiming to discuss recent progress and future perspectives on the captivating world of experimental and theoretical photophysics and photochemistry of low-dimensional structures. We are looking forward to bring together experts on light-matter interactions at the nanoscale investigated by scanning probe microscopies (SPM). This encompasses from the latest technical developments on advanced tip enhanced spectromicroscopies (TERS, Electro and Photoluminescence) to ultrafast (pulsed sources, THz-STM) phenomena in quantum dots or single molecules within plasmonic nanocavities. This convergence promises a stimulating environment for students, postdocs and world-renowned scientists to collectively explore the frontiers of the field!

 

Venue

 

The workshop will take place at the Instituto de Química Física Blas Cabrera (IQF), located in the historical ”Rockefeller” building in Madrid:
