School - Special Tutorial Session


The Special Tutorial Session (School) in semiconductor physics will take place just before the Conference, during the weekend on 20-21 June, 2009. It is co-organized by the Foundation "Pro Physica".

It will contain four lectures, each 3 hours long, given by the outstanding scientists with strong educational touch. These introductory lectures are mostly directed to the PhD and diploma students  or  younger scientists.

The list of invited speakers and 
topics:

Rafał Dunin-Borkowski (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)
              Advanced electron micro- and nano-scopy

Wojciech  Knap  (CNRS, Montpellier, France)
              The Physics of Transistors, Plasmons, and THz Emission

Robin Nicholas  (Oxford University, Great Britain)
              Physics of carbon compounds – graphene and carbon nanotubes
Andrew Ramsay  (University of Sheffield, Great Britain)
              The optical control of single spins in quantum dots  (lecture, pdf, 2MB)

As in the case of past  Schools (previously called Pre-Schools), a limited number  of grants is planned to be offered to partially cover the participation of students in the courses. Priority will be given to the students whose conference abstracts are accepted.
Applications for the support should be submitted by the student's supervisor before March 29th  directly to the Chairman of the Special Tutorial Session:
