LMI 2024

Light-Matter Interaction at Nanoscale

IQF Blas Cabrera, CSIC Serrano, Madrid 23^rd - 25^th 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:

How to reach us?

The Institute of Physical-Chemistry Blas Cabrera (IQF) is inside the campus where the central administration of CSIC is located (Serrano street 117), approximately between the Plaza de la República Argentina and María de Molina street. The nearest METRO stations are:

República Argentina (exit to Juan de la Cierva street)
Nuevos Ministerios (exit to Castellana pares, even numbers of Castellana street)
Gregorio Marañón (exit to Castellana impares, odd numbers of Castellana street)

The EMT buses with stops close to the Institute are lines 16, 19 and 51. From the airport (MAD), ~45 min: Take Metro line 8 (pink) to Nuevos Ministerios, change to metro line 6 (grey) to Republica Argentina and take a 7 min walk to CSIC Serrano 119 Campus
