IMN 2021 is part of the activities of the CNRS International Research Network (IRN) on Nanoalloys that is dedicated to exchanges and collaborative research in Europe, bringing together chemists, physicists and materials scientists on hot topics in the field of nano-sized alloy particles. IMN 2021 will deal with the properties of nanoalloys and their applications, both from experimental and modelling point of view, with particular focus on:
- environment and non-equilibrium effects on nanoalloy structures and properties;
- nanoalloy catalysis; and
- magnetic and optical properties of nanoalloys.
IMN 2021 is open to contributions from outside the IRN network.
IMN 2021 was due to be held in the beautiful historical city of Leuven (Belgium), but uncertainty about international travel and gathering restrictions associated to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic made the organizing committee decide to change to a virtual conference format.
