Scope

The aim of the Second International Symposium on Nanoarchitectonics Using Suprainteractions (NASI 2) is to establish a general and systematic concept on fundamental interactions governing material formation and on processes for spontaneous formation of functional structures in nanoregions by controlling the interactions.

The region scaled between nanometers and submicrons is a frontier for recent material fabrication technology, bordered by the diffraction limit on the submicron scale in beam technology and by the procedure time limit on the nanometer scale during atom manipulation. Nanoarchitectonics is a candidate for a breakthrough technology for structural formation in the region. There must be a mechanism in nature that governs material construction from structures in lower hierarchy to those in higher hierarchy; this mechanism is what we refer to as nanoarchitectonics. Nanoarchitectonics is also a methodology that enables the construction of new nanostructures by controlling the mechanism in the nanoregion. The mechanism is said to be subject to what we call hereafter suprainteractions. A suprainteraction is a factor that governs the structure formation in the nanoregion and can be defined as a long-range interaction or a field that mediates nanoarchitectonics. Examples are the long-range effect of a strained field by which an arrangement of quantum dots in a designed manner would be possible, a formation mechanism of fullerenes or carbon nanotubes from carbon atoms, and the origin of superlattice systems such as Si(111)7x7. Therefore, if one can properly design a lower-level structure and control suprainteractions in the higher-level structure, one will be able to observe self-construction of nanostructures ordered in a long range.

In this symposium, we adopt the term "suprainteractions" to explain all the weak but long-range interactions working among nanostructures formed under strong interactions. Furthermore, we will seek to clarify its essential properties in the hope that we can eventually present a guiding principle for both the understanding of various phenomena in the nanoregion and the technological innovations that are helpful to establish nanoarchitectonics.

Conference Site

NASI 2 will be held at UCLA-Tom Bradley International Hall. UCLA (UCLA's Main Home Page) is located 15 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Directions to UCLA

To get from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to UCLA, you can take a taxi or an airport shuttle.  Taxi fares run approximately $27-$30; shuttle fares are about $15-$17. For more information on airport shuttles: Super Shuttle or Prime Time Shuttle.

Please note that these links are provided for information purposes only.  UCLA does not guarantee or endorse any shuttle services.

To reach the conference site from Wilshire Boulevard, turn right onto Gayley Drive. Make a right onto Strathmore Drive, and an immediate left onto De Neve Drive. Bradley Hall will be on your left, across from the UCLA Tennis Center. Entire Campus Map(building 118 on the map).

The conference is in the main ballroom, and you can enter from the west upper lobby. Parking is limited. You should stop at the kiosk on Westwood Plaza to obtain directions to the closest parking structure. Parking is $6 per day.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be available at the UCLA Guest House (building 10 on Entire Campus Map) and the Hilgard House, 927 Hilgard Avenue, one block south of the campus. Both are close to the conference site. The Guest House, located on the UCLA campus is $98-103/night. The Hilgard House is $114/night. Invited speakers will stay at the UCLA Guest House. Some rooms at the Guest House will be available for conference participants on a first come basis. Others should consider the Hilgard House. Shuttle service to the conference site will be provided on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from only the UCLA Guest House and Hilgard House.

There are also a number of other Hotels near UCLA in Westwood if both Hilgard House and the UCLA Guest House are full. To reserve a hotel, please contact the hotel directly to make your reservation. Mention that you are attending a UCLA function in order to get the UCLA rate. Hotel rooms fill quickly, so it is best to make a reservation as soon as possible. Please indicate on your registration form where you will be staying while attending the conference.

How to Reach the UCLA Guest House and the Hilgard House from LAX

Exit the airport on Century Boulevard. Take the 405 Freeway north. Exit at Wilshire Boulevard (Westwood exit) and travel east on Wilshire, until you reach Glendon Avenue. Turn left onto Glendon and make a right onto Lindbrook. Then make a left onto Hilgard Avenue, which intersects Lindbrook. For those staying at the Hilgard House, you will find it one block below Le Conte Avenue at 927 Hilgard Avenue.

Those staying at the UCLA Guest House continue up Hilgard Avenue and enter the campus from Wynton Drive. Make a right onto Charles E. Young Dr., East. The Guest House is on the right.

Shuttle Service to Bradley International Hall Conference Site

Shuttle service will be available from the UCLA Guest House and the Hilgard House to Bradley International Hall each morning of the conference at 8:30 AM. The shuttle will take you to the NASI2 conference, and it will return you to your hotel after the conference. On Wednesday evening, the shuttle will take you the Faculty Center for the banquet. The Faculty Center is walking distance from the Guest House and the Hilgard House. Shuttle service will only be offered from the Guest House and Hilgard House to Bradley Hall. If you are staying at another hotel, you will be responsible for your own transportation to Bradley Hall.

Beyond UCLA and NASI2

Neighboring UCLA is Westwood Village, a community of shops, movie theaters and restaurants. Westwood Online! Within short driving distance of the UCLA campus and conference is Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Hollywood. Los Angeles is a vast and diverse city of museums, beaches, mountains and unlimited entertainment with unsurpassed nightlife. Tour also Los Angeles!

Abstract Submission (Only Invited Speakers)

Speakers should submit an Abstract Form ( 1 to 2 pages ) . It should be submitted by email to the correspondence. The deadline for abstract submission is January 31, 2002. Abstracts are reproduced in the final program by a photographic copy of the received abstract without any reduction nor extension of the original size.

 

Application-Registration

You must apply to attend NASI2. After review of your application, you will be notified about registration. Please complete the Application Form (pdf format or MS-WORD format) and return it to the correspondence. The conference is designed to accommodate 70 participants, including speakers. Apply early; once we reach our capacity of 70 participants, the conference will close.

You will pick up your registration packet, which will contain the conference schedule, when you arrive for the get together party in the lobby of the UCLA Guest House at 6 PM on March 25. If you do not attend the opening night wine reception, you can pick up your registration packet in the west lobby of the Bradley International Hall on the morning of the conference, March 26.
