EXCON 2010: 9th International Conference on Excitonic and Photonic Processes in Condensed and Nano Materials

In view of the diversity of papers presented at EXCON 08 the International Advisory Committee decided to extend the full title of EXCON conferences from International Conference on Excitonic Processes in Condensed Matter to International Conference on Excitonic and Photonic Processes in Condensed and Nano Materials . And following the tradition of EXCON series, EXCON will also maintain its focus on both experimental and theoretical topics on current research in excitonic and photonic processes in nanostructure, organic and inorganic condensed materials.

EXCON`10 is expected to provide an interdisciplinary forum for materials scientists, photo-physicists, photo-chemists and industry researchers to discuss novel and new results in their fields of research.

Presentations on the following but not exclusive research topics will be included in EXCON`10:

• Quantum confined excitons and low dimensional systems
• Excitons in nanostructures
• Single-exciton studies, micro-spectroscopy of excitons
• Photo-biological processes
• Excitonic electroluminescence and photoluminescence
• Scintillators and phosphors
• Frenkel excitons in molecular aggregates, energy transfer
• Exciton-lattice interaction, desorption, defect formation
• Photo-induced phase transitions
• Ab initio calculations and computational simulations of exciton phenomena
• Exciton condensation and superfluidity
• Exciton coherence phenomena
• Polaritonic effects and applications
• Biexciton and multi-exciton complex, nonlinear optical phenomena
• Ultrafast studies of exciton phenomena
• Plasmonic phenomena
• Photonic crystal and its novel phenomena
• Organic and inorganic light emitters and photovoltaics
• Laser materials and detectors
• Negative refractive index processes and metamaterials
