FOREWORD

The Nobel Prize in Physics awarded in 2010 to A. K. Geim and K. S. Novoselov
“for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material
graphene” has stimulated an avalanche increase of the practical interest to
carbon based nanostructures. It has inevitably influenced the thematic of
contributions to the International conference on Physics, Chemistry and
Applications of Nanostructures, NANOMEETING-2011 organized in Minsk
(Belarus) for the period from May 24 to May 27, 2011. Carbon nanotubes,
graphene, fullerenes and diamond-like nanostructures have been demonstrated to
be of extended research and application interest along with traditional quantum
dots and quantum wells structures. They have, of course, received a special
attention and a large place in the Conference program. Moreover, two hot topics

“Frontiers of Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials in Energy Conversion" and
“Nanoelectromagnetics” have been covered within two special thematic sessions.
The most interesting results have been selected for presentation and discussion at
the Conference.
This book presents invited reviews and short notes of the contributions to
the Conference. The papers are arranged within the traditional sections of the
previous publications: Physics of Nanostructures, Chemistry of Nanostructures,
Nanotechnology and Nanostructure Based Devices, while “Frontiers of
Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials in Energy Conversion” and
“Nanoelectromagnetics” are presented separately. The papers have been mainly
preserved in their original form. The camera-ready version of the Proceedings
was prepared by V. L. Shaposhnikov and A. V. Krivosheeva. The art design of
the book cover belongs to V. A. Pushkarchuk.
The Sponsors who kindly provided the financial support for the Conference
are deeply acknowledged.
