Abstract

This special issue of Electronic Letters on Science & Engineering (e-LSE), An International open access Journal, includes the abstracts of the presentations at the workshop, BSW2017 (Sixth Bozok Science Workshop: Studies from Nuclei to Nanomaterials with Applications) held during August 2325, 2017 at Bozok University, Yozgat, Turkey.

At the workshop the discussions were based on active researches from basic to several applied fields. The fundamental scientific philosophy behind the traditional meeting, Bozok Science Workshops, is the stimulation of cross-disciplinary flow of knowledge and expertise from both the experimental and theoretical standpoints. At the first, second, third, fourth and fifth workshops the main topics were chosen as "Boron studies in nano-scale" for BSW2010, "Computational Chemical Physics" for BSW2011, "Computational Studies on Structure and Dynamics from Nuclei to Biological Molecules" for BSW2012, "Studies on Structure and Dynamics from Nuclei to Clusters" for BSW2013 and "Nano carbon materials and their applications" for BSW2016, respectively. Despite of the considered special topics, the studies on boron, computational chemical physics, any nanomaterilas, atomic/molecular and cluster systems were still welcome again to BSW2017.

As for the workshop planned to be held as BSW2017; the abstracts are prepared as a special issue of e-LSE. All referees (consisting 38 experts and 7 of them from out of Turkey) have been selected from the Scientific Committee (consisting 54 experts and 10 of them from out of Turkey) of BSW2017 to review the abstracts before the workshop. In order to take part at the above mentioned special issue; presenting the selected abstract by applicant is the main principle.

By means of the workshop and this special issue of e-LSE, we hope to give opportunity to the authors to improve the quality of their works also give the same opportunity to the referees to make critics and to be aware of the active studies submitted to the meeting. Announcement on the special issue is on the workshop circulars right from the start, at web page and in the shared emails. In total, 36 selected abstracts from the reviewed and presented abstracts are published in this issue. This e-LSE issue may be a good reference material and be a great source for the experts who are interested in the discussed topics.

I am pleased to be Editor of this special issue of e-LSE. I would like to thank to the Scientific Committee for the generous support for recommending invited lectures, subjects and sharing their opinion to improve the workshop. Especially, I would like to thank to the members accepting my invitations to be referee for selecting the abstracts for this volume, and to the members of the Organizing Committee for their help. Finally, I would like to thank to Founding Editor Dr. Feyzullah Temurtaş for giving me this opportunity and helping me in managing this issue.
