Scope

Progress in  nanofabrication technology has led to the development of semiconductor nanostructures with characteristic physical properties and potential applications in micro- and optoelectronic devices.  To evaluate such nanostructures, different spectroscopic techniques have been developed which can provide a lateral resolution of better than 100 nm. The first International Workshop on nano-scale Spectroscopy and its Applications to Semiconductors was held at the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, from December 11 - 14, 2000. The workshop was the result of a joint initiative between the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). This four-day workshop was attended by 74 participants from 13 countries (Italy, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, Russia, Spain, Czech Republic, India, USA, UK, Poland, and Austria).  The second International Workshop on Nano-scale Spectroscopy and Nanotechnology provides a forum for the exchange of recent scientific and technical knowledge in this rapidly growing field.  Scientists from industry, academia, and government labs are invited to participate.  Technical sessions will cover the spectrum from fundamental to applied spectromicroscopic research.  Discussion is an important feature of this workshop.  Ample time will be available for discussion, both during and between the sessions.


Topics

Spectromicroscopy with synchrotron radiation (PEEM, Fresnel zone plates, Schwarzschild optics, SXTM)
Electron microscopy (CL-TEM, CL-SEM, SAM, TEM-EELS, SEM-FA)
Scanning probe techniques (STS, SNOM, CL-STM, OBIC)
Nanostructures (quantum dots, quantum wires, nanotubes)
Nanofabrication technology (nanolithography)

How to get to "the International House of Japan"

Here are recommended routes from Narita Airport to the accommodations.
Please refer to the below.

No. 1 Route

Narita Airport to Tokyo Narita Express (JR Line) 1 hr. 2,940 yen Please refer to the following timetable.
http://www.narita-airport.or.jp/airport_e/access/train/schedule_up.html
Tokyo to Kasumigaseki Marunouchi Line 5 min. 160 yen Ticket from Kasumigaseki to Roppongi

Roppongi to Int'l House of Japan on foot 10 min. - Exit No. 3 at Roppongi Station

*We strongly recommend you to take a taxi at Tokyo Station to Roppongi as the station yard would be
pretty complicated for you and as it would be hard for you with a suitcase to walk a long way in the yard
and at the stairs.


No. 2 Route

Narita Airport to Tokyo ANA Hotel Airport Shuttle Bus for Akasaka & Shiba 60 to 150 min. 2,900 yen Timetable of shuttle bus at Terminal No.2
(plus 10 min. at Terminal No.1)
9:00, 9:30, 10:00 10:40, 11:20, 11:40, 13:20, 15:00 16:10, 16:40, 17:10, 18:10, 18:40(the last)
Tokyo ANA Hotel to Int'l House of Japan taxi - 10 min. 650 yen

*The bus goes round to various hotels. So it would take more than 2 hours.
