The 18th International Conference on Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional Systems (EP2DS-18) and the 14th International Conference on Modulated Semiconductor structures (MSS-14) will be jointly held at Kobe International Conference Center, Kobe, Japan, July 19 - 24, 2009. This will be the 2009 edition of the biennial conference series that are now established as the major events in the research fields of modulated semiconductors and low-dimensional electron systems.

What is Joint Conference?

By making a registration either to EP2DS-18 or to MSS-14, the participants could freely come and go between the two. The submission of papers is limited, however, only to the registered Conference. If you want to submit papers to both Conferences, you need to register to both Conferences and to pay doulbe registration fee.

The first "joining" of the two conferences occured in 1985 for EP2DS-6 and MSS-2 in Kyoto, Japan. Tsuneya Ando (Chair of EP2DS) and Hiroyuki Sakaki (that of MSS) decided to hold the two conferences in parallel at the same location. This form was reenacted in Nara, Japan, in 1991, again in Nara, 2003, and has been followed from then on.

Conference Scope for EP2DS-18 Conference Scope for MSS-14
EP2DS traditionally covers the fundamental physics as well as transport, optical and other properties of electronic states in low dimensional systems. Now the low-dimensional family is expanding to novel systems such as nanotube, graphene, NEMS, and others. MSS addresses the synthesis, processing and applications of modulated materials. With an initial focus on semiconductor heteroand nano structures, MSS now also encompasses the broader range of hybrid, modulated organic, spintronic, and biologically-based modulated structures.
  • Electronic, optical and magnetic properties of low-dimensional systems
  • Semiconductor heterostructures, superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots
  • Quantum Hall effects
  • Spin phenomena in nanostructures
  • Novel low-dimensional systems, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, NEMS, biological and molecular structures
  • Physics and devices for quantum information processing
  • Organic semiconductors and hybrid structures
  • Metal-insulator transitions
  • Novel probes, experimental techniques
  • Advances in growth and processing for modulated structures
  • Nanowires and dots: electronic and optical properties
  • Nanophotonic structures
  • Spintronics and spin-effects in nanostructures
  • Physics and devices for quantum information processing
  • Heterostructures and superlattices
  • Organic semiconductors and hybrid structures
  • Novel modulated structures, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, molecular structures, NEMS, and bio-based structures
  • Novel probing and fabrication techniques
