The IV edition of TERAMETANANO, the International Conference on Terahertz Emission, Metamaterials and Nanophotonics, will take place in Lecce (Italy) from 27 to 31 of May 2019 in the 16th-century Castle of Charles V   with two special nights that will be held, weather permitting, in an original Theatre of Roman period.

TERAMETANANO is an annual conference that gather physicists studying a wide variety of phenomena in the areas of nano-structures, nano-photonics and meta-materials, with special attention to the coupling between light and matter and in a broad range of wavelengths, going from the visible up to the terahertz.

The presentations will cover, both from an experimental and theoretical point of view, the optical and electrical properties of advanced nano-scale systems, such as two-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures, nano-crystals, Transition Metal Dichalcogenides, hybrid systems and heterostructures.

In this edition a particular attention will be given to young researchers and PhD students which are encouraged to participate in order to promote discussions and collaborations on new ideas and challenges arising in the community. In addition to the oral contributions an opportunity to present their work will be given to the best 10 posters in an elevator pitch session.

Topics of the TERAMETANANO-4 include but are not limited to:
