Seminar on Nano Technology |
| The IIM-DC organised a Seminar on Nano
Technology on 05 May 2012 in its auditorium. |
| The Seminar was attended by about 60 persons.
The audience included students pursuing Nano Technology
stream, officers from Ministry of Steel, SAIL, MECON,
CET, Joint Plant Committee and few other organisations. |
| Mr. Anil Gupta Chairman IIM-DC welcomed
the participants. He gave a brief presentation about the
activities of IIM-DC. |
| Mr. P K Chatterjee, Member EC, while briefly
introducing Nano Technology, mentioned that Nano Technology
combines Engineering, Physics, Chemistry & Biology
and has a tremendous potential as a revolutionary concept
pertaining to key Science & Technological areas. |
| This technology basically involves manipulation
of atoms molecules & materials, to form structures
on the Nano Scale (billionth of a metre). These new structures
physically exhibit new properties or behaviour due to
quantum mechanics. |
Five eminent scientists
from different institutes/organisations gave presentations
as under:
- Dr. R P Singh, Director, Amity
Institute of Nano Technology gave a key-Note address
in the Seminar and spoke on “Indian Status of Nano
Technology & its Future Perspectives”
- Dr. P K Chaudhury, Scientist
G & Head Nano Technology Division of Solid State
Physics at Ministry of Defence, R & D Organisation,
spoke on “Carbon Nano based Tube Devices”
- Dr. A K Srivastava, Principal
Scientist at National Physical Laboratory, N.Delhi,
gave a presentation on “Materials Characterisation
at Nano Scale: Importance & Implication”
- Dr. R. Bhattacharyya, Visiting
Faculty of Delhi Technological University, spoke
on “Metal Nano Particles and the Promise of Plasmanics”
- Dr. O P Sinha of Amity Institute
of Nano Technology addressed the gathering on “Role
of Nano Technology on Solid State Lighting”
|
The salient points
emerging out of summarising the presentations are:
- The wide area of applicability of Nano Technology
has several examples such as computer chips, harder
cutting tools, transmission cables, various defence
needs and lighting etc.
- The unique role of electron microscope as a tool
for Nano Material Characterisation has wide applications
- Nano Technology has led to re-thinking on the
approach to optics and about new research efforts
called plasmanics
- The role of semi-conductors of metal oxides Nano
structures in Organics Light Emitting Diodes (OLED)

| Shri P K Chatterjee proposed a vote of
Thanks. |
| As a token of appreciation, Mementos were
presented by IIM DC to all the distinguished speakers. |
| The Seminar ended with lunch. |
