22^nd International Conference on
Electron Dynamics in Semiconductors,
Optoelectronics and Nanostructures

Welcome

EDISON 22 - The 22nd International Conference on Electron Dynamics in Semiconductors, Optoelectronics and Nanostructures - will be held in Münster (Germany), 14 - 18 August 2023. EDISON 22 will highlight the latest progress in the field of fundamental physics and applications of electron dynamics in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, and nanostructures.

Conference Scope

The technical focus of the EDISON series is on the fundamental physics and applications of nonequilibrium classical and quantum carrier dynamics in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, and nanostructures. Specific topics of particular interest include:

• Nonequilibrium electrical and thermal transport in bulk, nanostructures and devices
• Terahertz phenomena in semiconductor materials and devices
• Mesoscopic phenomena in nanostructures
• Electrical and optical properties of 2D materials and their heterostructures
• Carrier dynamics and ultra-fast optical phenomena
• Coherent carrier dynamics for quantum technologies
• Semiconductor-based spintronics
• Electronic properties of topological materials
• Carrier dynamics in organic materials
• Charge dynamics in energy conversion and energy harvesting processes
• Fluctuations and noise in nonequilibrium carrier dynamics
• Interaction of charges with plasmonic, phononic and mechanical excitations

About EDISON

EDISON 22 will be the 22^nd meeting of the international conference series that was first established as “Hot Carriers in Semiconductors”, and held in Modena, Italy in 1973. Since then the meeting has been held on a biennial basis, cycling sequentially between Europe, the US and Japan. Prior meetings were held in: Denton, USA (1977); Montpellier, France (1981); Innsbruck, Austria (1985); Boston, USA (1987); Scottsdale, USA (1989); Nara, Japan (1991); Oxford, UK (1993); Chicago, USA (1995); Berlin, Germany (1997); Kyoto, Japan (1999); Santa Fe, USA (2001); Modena, Italy (2003); Chicago, USA (2005); Tokyo, Japan (2007); Montpellier, France (2009); Santa Barbara, USA (2011); Matsue, Japan (2013); Salamanca, Spain (2015); Buffalo, USA (2017) and Nara, Japan (2019).

The meeting serves as the premier forum for researchers working on the study of nonequilibrium phenomena in semiconductors, from all parts of the globe.
