18th International Conference on Modulated Semiconductor Structures (MSS-18)

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
