DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gotthard Seifert  ( Theoretische Chemie\, Technische
  Universität Dresden\, D-01062 Dresden\, Germany )\nCarbon based nanostru
 ctures have a long history\, dating back to the 30ies and 40ies of the 20t
 h century. They got a strong boost with the discovery of the fullerenes an
 d nanotubes\, and they were crowned by the research on graphene. The inves
 tigations on these nanostructures are of both fundamental and technologica
 l interest due to the interesting electronic and physical properties intri
 nsically associated with their low dimensionality and quantum confinement 
 effects. With the successful synthesis of graphene nanoribbons and functio
 nalization of graphene layers some shortcoming of 2D graphene could be ove
 rcome\, opening extremely promising applications in the future nanoscale e
 lectronic devices. The intrinsic physical and chemical properties of such 
 modified graphene based systems\, will be discussed in comparison with gra
 phene. Especially\, the electronic\, magnetic and mechanical properties of
  such structures in terms of their functionalization will be discussed on 
 the basis of theoretical investigations.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/eve
