22nd International Conference on Electronic Properties of Two Dimensional Systems (EP2DS-22)
18th International Conference on Modulated Semiconductor Structures (MSS-18)
Scope of the conference
EP2DS features fundamental physics arising in two-dimensional systems – such as semiconductor quantum wells, graphene, topological insulators, oxide heterostructures, and transition metal dichalcogenides – as well as in quantum wires and quantum dots. More specifically, it includes
- Electronic, optical and magnetic properties
- Fractional quantum Hall effect
- Majorana fermions
- Spin related phenomena
- Quantum information
- Superconductivity and metal-insulator transitions
- Novel probes and experimental techniques
MSS places greater emphasis on synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of modulated systems. A broader range of novel materials is included. The specific topics are:
- Semiconductor heterostructures and superlattices
- Electronic and optical properties of quantum dots and nanowires
- Physics of excitons, optomechanics, and terahertz-related phenomena
- Nanophotonic structures including photonic crystals and metamaterials
- Spintronics and spin phenomena in modulated structures
- Physics and devices for quantum information processing
- Carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other carbon-based materials
- Novel modulated and hybrid structures, including MEMS/NEMS, 2D crystals, organic and bio-based structures
- Advances in growth, processing, and probing of modulated structures
