Summary of the symposium:
The Symposium goals are to cover all aspects from fundamental growth issues and material development, to interfaces, device integration and testing devices for electronics and optoelectronics applications.
This symposium will provide a platform to discuss novel nano-materials and new nano-device structures at different stages on their way towards applications. These will includes, but are not limited to, the latest developments of novel nanostructures relevant to lasers, photodetectors, optical amplifiers, communications and information processing, optical switches, waveguides, sensors, renewable energy, biomedecine as well as new device applications based on such nanostructures including nanolasers and single photon sources.
To bring insight into fundamental materials and interfaces issues as well as device design, functionality, and device physics, the symposium will gather researchers working in academia and industry to stimulate interactions among scientists, engineers, students working on various aspects of semiconductor nanostructures and their applications. Targeting this outcome, we aim at organising each session to associate experimental, computational modelling and theoretical presentations to complement one another and to create long-lasting opportunities of scientific interactions between attendees.
Hot topics to be covered by the symposium:
1- Quantum-cascade devices
2- Nano-wire and nano-rod devices
3- Single quantum-dot photonic devices
4- Organic and hybrid nanostructure devices
5- Devices based on wide band-gap semiconductor nanostructures
6- Nano-electronics, nano-photonics, nano-plasmonics and nano-optoelectronics
7- Synthesis and characterization of novel nanostructures and heteronanostructures
8- Interfacial phenomena and dynamics in semiconductor nanomaterials and nanostructures
9- Novel device applications of semiconductor nanostructures, stretchable and liquid devices
10- Quantum-dot lasers and nano-material based detectors, amplifiers, LEDs and light-converters
