Molecular Electronics Colloquia 2022

Colloquium: from con- "together" and -loquium "speaking"

Three days of talks and panel discussions on Molecular Electronics

Topics included, but not limited to:

Single-molecule conductance experiments
Synthetic routes to molecular wires
Large-area molecular electronic devices
Functional molecular devices (transistors, memristors, switches, etc.)
Theory of quantum charge transport
Molecular thermoelectrics

Each day will feature talks by research students, postdoctoral research associates and academics.

A panel discussion will follow, each panel devoted to a single topic. Panel members have been chosen for their expertise in synthesis, measurements and theoretical methods, to ensure all aspects of molecular electronics are covered.
