Introduction
The ICSNN is a biennial conference series with a tradition lasting back to the 1980s, usually being the largest satellite conference to the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS, www.icps2012.ethz.ch), which will be held in Zürich, Switzerland the week after ICSNN. In the past decade ICSNN was held in:
- Kyongju, South Korea (2000)
- Toulouse, France (2002)
- Cancun, Mexico (2004)
- Istanbul, Turkey (2006)
- Natal, Brazil (2008)
- Beijing, China (2010)
Scope
- Nanostructure fabrication techniques, including self assembly
- Nanoelectronics with single electrons, new transport phenomena in nanostructures
- Nanophotonics and quantum optics in single quantum dots, microcavities and photonic bandgap materials
- Semiconductor nano-spintronics, spin manipulation in nanostructures, magnetic/semiconductor hybrid nanosystems
- Terahertz physics and devices
- Solid state quantum information
- Carbon nanotubes and graphene
- Emerging materials and devices: nanoelectronics in biosystems, hybrid organic semiconductor systems, molecular systems and devices
- Electronic and optical properties of novel semiconductor structures (e.g. dilute nitrides)
