NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - B: Physics and Biophysics Low-Dimensional Functional Materials Edited by Reinhold Egger Davron Matrasulov Khamdam Rakhimov AB 3 Low-Dimensional Functional Materials NATO Science for Peace and Security Series This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATO Programme:ScienceforPeaceandSecurity(SPS). The NATO SPS Programme supports meetings in the following Key Priority areas: (1) Defence Against Terrorism; (2) Countering other Threats to Security and (3) NATO, PartnerandMediterraneanDialogueCountryPriorities.Thetypesofmeetingsupported are generally “Advanced Study Institutes” and “Advanced Research Workshops”. The NATO SPS Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized byscientistsfromNATOcountriesandscientistsfromNATO’s“Partner” or “MediterraneanDialogue”countries.Theobservationsandrecommendationsmadeatthe meetings,aswellasthecontentsofthevolumesintheSeries,reflectthoseofparticipants andcontributorsonly;theyshouldnotnecessarilyberegardedasreflectingNATOviews orpolicy.

Preface ThisbookpresentsproceedingsoftheNATOAdvancedResearchWokshop“Recent TrendsinEnergySecurity:WithSpecialEmphasisonLow-DimensionalFunctional Materials”heldinTashkent,October15–19,2012.Theobjectiveoftheconference was to discuss recent advances, problems and prospects in the physics of low- dimensional nanoscale materials from the viewpoint of their practical application in energy and resource saving. Currently such materials are being considered to playkeyrolein thedevelopmentofcontemporarynanotechnology.Theworkshop broughttogetherexpertsworkingon differentissues of nanoscalephysicssuch as quantumtransport,organicphotovoltaics,hydrogenstorage,carbonnanostructures, superconductivityandothers.Talkspresentedbythespeakerswereconcentratedon photovoltaic elements on the basis of low-dimensionalmaterials, graphene, CNT, fullerene, particle and heat transport in low-dimensional nanoscale systems, ther- moelectriceffectonlow-dimensionalmaterials,quantumnetworksandhydrogenin low-dimensionalmaterials. Special focus was broughtto practical applications of low-dimensionalfunctional materials in renewable energy, energyconversion and storage. Total 55 talks were presented by senior and young speakers as 35- and 15-minlongandshorttalks,respectively. Broad audience of experimental and theoretical physicists was attracted by extensive panel discussions which were very helpful for deeper understanding of differentissuesofthephysicsoflow-dimensionalfunctionalmaterials.Concluding remarkshavebeenpresentedtosomeofthespeakersattheendofWorkshop. The Workshop has been efficiently and successfully organizeddue to the local organizing committee with members T. Muminov, A.A. Saidov, K. Sharipov, K. Nakamura, B. Eshchanov, J. Yusupov, D. Otajanov, B. Umrzakov and B.Oksengendler.AgroupofyoungresearchersandstudentsfromTurinPolytechnic University in Tashkent and National University of Uzbekistan assisted for several importantorganizationalmatters. In addition, we would like to thank Jambul Yusupov, Doniyor Babajanov and DavranOtajanovfortheir valuableassistance in preparingthis proceedings.Also, ourspecialthanksgotoOlgaKarpovaforhergreathelpwiththesecretarialduties, before,duringandaftertheconference. v vi Preface Finally, we wish to thank NATO Science for Peace and Security Program for thefinancialsupport,AppliedPhysicsInstitute,PhysicalSocietyofUzbekistanand TurinPolytechnicUniversityinTashkentforadditionalfundingandorganizational support.
