Seeing at the Nanoscale 2012

Call for Papers

Presenter Information

Bruker Nano Surfaces Division, the University of Bristol and the Bristol Center for Nanoscience and Quantum information (NSQI) are putting out a general call for papers to be presented at the Seeing at the Nanoscale Conference in Bristol, UK.

Abstracts can cover a wide range of nanoscale imaging and property characterization applications as well as instrumental/technique development within the specific emphasis of the four sessions.

Submitted papers will be considered for either oral or poster presentation at the conference unless author requests a poster session.

All abstracts will be reviewed by the session chairs, and final abstracts will be printed in the conference program.

Submit Your Abstract
Abstract Submission Deadline: April 10, 2012

Guidelines for Oral Presenters

  • Paper format: Papers should only be submitted in Word (.doc or .docx file).
  • Give a brief overview of your subject matter for a cross-disciplinary audience — Why are you doing this work and why is it important?
  • Summarize key results in one or two slides with an easy to understand graphic. This graphic should represent a fair amount of data reduction from raw data into key conclusions. The reason for putting this first is that if you run out of time, you will have at least shared the most important results of your research.
  • Follow the summary graphics with detailed experimental procedures, assumptions, models, results, etc. for subject matter experts. Organize from simple high level to more complex. (if you don't get to all the details, you can discuss with other experts during the conference breaks).

Presentation Format

Each presentation within the four sessions will be 15 minutes in length with an additional five-minute discussion period. In keeping with our policy of having all talks within one room, so that everyone has the opportunity to hear all of the oral presentations, roughly 35 abstracts will be selected for contributed talks.

Guidelines for Poster Presentation

Seeing at the Nanoscale Poster Size is 84x119 centimeters

Each poster will be allocated a space of 84 cm wide x 119 cm high (or 33x44 inches). It must be in a portrait (vertical) layout as shown to the right.

Presentation Aids

The conference auditorium will be equipped with a data projector, screen, laser pointer, and lavaliere microphone. Presenters will be asked to send their presentation ahead of time for inclusion on the main conference computers. Presenters may also bring their own laptops and appropriate cabling.
