STM'01 The eleventh international conference on scanning techniques

STM'01, the eleventh international conference on scanning techniques will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from 15 to 20 July 2001, under the auspices of the National research council of Canada.

The conference will cover recent progress in the following fields including:

- magnetic systems;
- biomolecules;
- polymers;
- cells and model bilayers;
- semiconductor and metal surface structure;
- adsorbates and reactions on semiconductors and metals;
- oxides;
- nanotubes;
- catalysis ;
- electrochemistry;
-
Other topics that will be covered include:

- interactions within and between single molecules;
- atom- and molecule-scale manipulations;
- nano-patterning;
- theory of probe-matter interactions and of nano-scale phenomena;
- new SPM developments;
- near Field Scanning Optical Microscopy;
- applications of SPM in device development;

To help bring cohesion to the meeting, three focused, all-plenary sessions will be held: 'Toward functional nanostructures,' 'Advances in physics'; and 'BioPhysics'.
