8th Workshop on Nanotube Optics and Nanospectroscopy
(WONTON 2022)

Registration is now closed

​Venue
​
WONTON 2022 will be held at the historic Memorial Union. Since opening its doors in 1928, the Memorial Union has become one of the most popular and well-recognized spots in Madison. The classic Italian-Renaissance style building sits on the banks of Lake Mendota and boasts a picturesque lakeside terrace with 600 colorful sunburst chairs - now a university icon. Among its many treasures, the building houses a 1,300 seat theater, restaurants and delis, Wheelhouse Studios, and a German-style tavern.

Scope

The WONTON workshop series focuses on advancing the understanding of the photophysical properties and spectroscopy of nanoscale systems such as carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials. Topics include but are not limited to:
  • Spectroscopy and fabrication of nanocarbon materials
  • Photonics of nanoscale devices
  • New methodology in experiment and theory
  • Spectroscopy of non-carbon nanoscale systems

Related topics of current interest will also be covered at the meeting.
