13-17 May, 2007        Richmond, VA (USA)

The 5th International Conference on Theory of Atomic and Molecular Clusters (TAMC V) will take place in Richmond, VA (USA) from 13th to 17th May 2007, organized by the Department of Physics at Virginia Commonwealth University. It succeeds symposia held in Toulouse (France, 2004), Leer (Germany, 1993), Wisconsin (USA, 1995) and Berlin (Germany, 1999). The conference aims to cover recent progress on theoretical methods, concepts and applications to timely experiments in cluster research including free and supported clusters, clusters on surfaces, cluster-assemblies, nanostructures, and clusters in biological systems. As previous editions, it should provide an open discussion forum on current problems, future developments and new trends in the theory of clusters, nanoparticles and nanostructures.

Topical Areas

This should be an exciting meeting. The organizing committee has selected a wide range of current topics for TAMC V. The program includes ~40 invited talks, ~12 contributed talks, a poster session and two roundtable forums. Topical areas for the program include:

  • Molecular modeling using many body potentials, genetic algorithms, and other developments.
  • Developments in electronic structure schemes including order N, hybrid DFT and Quantum Monte Carlo schemes and their applications to electronic structure of clusters and nanostructures.
  • Magnetic properties, molecular magnetism including spin relaxation and magnetic deflagration in nanomagnets.
  • Thermal Properties, phase transitions.
  • Reactivity, nanocatalysis, and fragmentation.
  • Spectroscopy and dynamics at ultrafast pulses.
  • Electronic transport, molecular electronics.
  • Optical properties, light induced charge transport.
  • Cluster-assembled materials, self-assembly of clusters, solvated and supported clusters.
  • Nanoparticles in Biology and Medicine, protein folding, drug delivery, biological functions.

Nobel Laureates to Attend TAMC V We are extremely excited to announce that several Nobel Laureates will attend and present at TAMC V. Laureates include W. Kohn (UCSB) , J. Fenn (VCU), R. Marcus (CALTECH)

400th Anniversary of America 2007 is the 400th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in America. There are many activities and celebrations planned throughout the year. Plan to arrive early for the conference or to stay a few extra days to enjoy the festivities. We are planning a day trip to Jamestown on the afternoon of Thursday May 17, 2007 after the conference has closed. Please join us for an enjoyable trip.

TAMC V Sponsors With help from several sponsors we have put together a very nice program for TAMC V. The Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the National Science Foundation, Virginia Commonwealth University, the Department of Physics at VCU, Phillip Morris U.S.A., the Naval Research Lab, and the Army Research Office have all contributed to make the organization of this conference a success.

Student Support With the help of our sponsors we are able to provide a limited number of student assistanships to defray the cost of travel, lodging, registration, etc. These assistantships are competitive and will be provided on the basis of student applications. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
