Welcome

The Symposium will cover the most important developments in this booming field of the basic and applied research. The main emphasis will be given to recent progress in growth methods and understanding of material properties, which allow wide spread applications of wide band gap semiconductors based on group-III nitrides and ZnO in a new generation of electronic and optoelectronic devices.

High scientific interest continues also in another application of wide band gap semiconductors, such as ZnO and GaN. These materials, when doped with transition metal ions, often show ferromagnetic response. During the Symposium the recent developments in this hot topic will also be discussed.

  • GaN for short and long wavelength LD applications (far UV and green LDs)
  • GaN for electronic applications and biological sensors
  • GaN-based LEDs for white light sources
  • Perspectives of spintronics based on wide band gap compounds
  • Low temperature ZnO for electronic applications
  • Growth techniques of wide band gap oxides and material characterization
  • II-VI-based wide band gap semiconductors for optoelectronic and spintronics applicationsProgramme
