2023 Conference on Excited State Processes

The Excited State Processes in Electronic and Bio Nanomaterials conference focuses on fundamental photoinduced phenomena in various nanostructured materials. The previous ESP meetings organized by LANL took place at Los Alamos and Santa FE (NM) in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2018. 

The scope of the current ESP 2023 conference is a variety of excited state phenomena in technologically important materials and biosystems, including size-dependent and time-dependent electronic interactions, excited state dynamics, quantum confinement, and carrier transport, emphasizing similarity of the phenomena rather than specifics of the systems.   

Topics Include:      

• Organic and polymeric materials (photophysics, chemistry, energy and charge transport)
• Low-dimensional materials (chemical functionalization, ultrafast processes and functional devices)
• Organo-metallic complexes (excited state potentials and photocatalysis)
• Semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles (from structures to physical phenomena)
• Biosystems (conformations, energy/charge transport, spectroscopy and photosynthesis)
• Organic-inorganic perovskite nanostructures (physics, chemistry and devices)
• Energy transfer phenomena and chemo- / bio-sensor applications
• Data science for excited states and non-equilibrium dynamics.
