UGC sponsored National Seminar on

'Applications of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology'

A REPORT

To inculcate the tradition of research in the field of Nanoscience, Department of

Physics, Patna Women's College organised UGC sponsored National Seminar on

'Applications of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology' which was held on 12th

September, 2008.

Objectives of the National Seminar

• To provide a much needed platform for undergraduate, postgraduate students,

researchers and academicians.

• To give the participants an exposure to the new and emerging technological

advancements.

• To initiate research in this important field.

• To put northern region on the global map.

Theme of the Seminar

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology are among the fastest emerging areas of research.

The technology can be best described as one which includes all activities related to

minute particles of atomic and molecular dimension. The emerging trends in

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology will change the nature of almost every man-made

object in the next century. It is expected to revolutionize areas like semi conductors,

biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, specialized fabric manufacturing, waste treatment, high

density data storage device, super computers etc. The 21st century would be the

Nanotechnology Century. Nanosized inorganics have various promising applications in

areas like the ceramic industry, paint industry, catalyst industry, drug industry etc.

Almost all the countries have accorded top research priority to it. This sector is also

expected to create 12 million jobs by 2015. The field of nanostructured materials is

widening. This seminar will provide a forum for discussion on all aspects of nanoscience

and will foster the exchange of ideas on techniques, experiments and applications of

nanoscience and nanotechnology. All original contributions will be arranged in the form

of plenary, keynote, invited, oral and poster presentations.

The Resource Persons were facilitated by Dr. Ashok Kumar Ghosh, Head, Department

of Environmental Science, A.N. College, Patna.

Prof. V. A. Singh in his very informative keynote address quoted a Sanskrit 'shloka' to

convey the idea of how minute a nanostructure

is. He mentioned objects used since ancient

times that were examples of nanotechnology.

He stated that this is an age of silicon, and India

has taken initiative in the field of

nanotechnology through Nano Science and

Technology Mission which works on four thrust

areas – Nano Electronics, Drug Delivery

Systems, Phosphors for Lighting and Display,

and Nano Scale Surface. He stressed the need

to strengthen scientific research, and develop a nanocourse for undergraduate students

in Bihar. He also gave information about the National Initiative on Undergraduate

Science with stress on Teacher Curriculum development. Professor Singh suggested

that the elementary education of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience should start at the

Undergraduate or even at the 12th grade level. He also talked about Nano Technology

in Electronic Devices. Physicists have been able to fabricate one electron to transistor.

The more and more transistors you put on a chip, the smaller and faster the device

becomes. Today, it is possible to include a camera, an internet, an e-mail service and a

GPS device in a mobile cell phone.

Prof. G. S. Singh talked about Fullerene

(C60) and Single – Walled Carbon Nano

Tube. He also talked about Multinational

Carbon Nano Tube with Central Carbon

Nano Wire.

Biological systems such as DNA molecules

are Nano materials. Quantum wells are 2D

systems, whereas Quantum wires and

Nanorings are 1D system. Quantum Dots

and OD system (Artificial Atoms) as mentioned earlier. Diamond is a 3D material where

as Graphite and Graphere are 2D materials.

Professor Singh also mentioned possible use of Nanorobots for medical applications,

such as artery clearing, gene repair, dental care, neurological damage repair, etc.

Nanoparticles can be used to kill virus and bacteria also, in addition to several other

medical applications.

Dr. Avinash C. Pandey gave a talk based on Quantum confined Atom based

Nanomaterials for their Application in

Electronics, Optoelectronic Devices and

Biology. In the nano-limit, materials behave

non-linearly. This property makes nanoparticles

more interesting and more useful. He compared

Quantum Dots versus Quantum Confined

Atoms (QCA). Quantum confinement of an

atom in a nanocage produces polarized atom.

He also talked about Magnetic Quantum Dot

and Nanomagnets and their applications in biology and medicine. He talked about

Targeted Drug Delivery using Magnetic Nanoparticles. He mentioned the challenges for

Physicists, Chemists and Biologists to develop nanomaterials for the third world.
