About EDISON

EDISON 21 will be the 21st 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), and; Buffalo, USA (2017).


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:

  1. Nonequilibrium carrier transport in bulk and nanostructured materials
  2. Nonequilibrium carrier transport in novel devices
  3. Coherent/incoherent carrier dynamics and ultra-fast optical phenomena
  4. Coherent carrier dynamics for quantum technologies
  5. Terahertz phenomena in semiconductor materials and devices
  6. Semiconductor-based spintronics
  7. Mesoscopic phenomena in nanostructured materials and devices
  8. Carrier dynamics in organic materials
  9. Synthesis and electrical and optical properties of graphene and 2D van der Waals materials
  10. Topological states of matter
  11. Ultrafast carrier dynamics in energy-conversion processes
  12. Energy harvesting from nanostructures
  13. Nonequilibrium thermal transport in devices and nanostructures
  14. Nonequilibrium carrier dynamics and fluctuations
  15. Carrier dynamics in phononic and mechanical structures
  16. Hot carrier effects in nanoplasmonic systems

Venue

The conference will be held at Nara Kasugano International Forum “IRAKA”, located in the center of Nara Park.
