13th International Conference on Excitonic and Photonic Processes in Condensed Matter and Nano Materials (EXCON23)

The EXCON conference series has an excellent history and track record for bringing in a diverse range of researchers and will provide an interdisciplinary forum for mutual research communications between solid-state physicists, photo-physicists, photo-chemists and photo-biologists, material scientists, as well as device-oriented researchers from academia and industry. The previous twelve EXCON conferences were held in Darwin, Australia (1994), Kurort Gohrisch, Germany (1996), Boston, USA (1998), Osaka, Japan (2000), Darwin, Australia (2002), Cracow, Poland (2004), Winston-Salem, USA (2006), Kyoto, Japan (2008), Brisbane, Australia (2010), Groningen, Netherlands (2012) Montréal, Canada (2015) and Nara, Japan (2018).

Proposed Topics:

• Coherent excitonic processes including multi-excitonic processes

• Ultrafast dynamics of excitonic relaxation, energy transport, and charge transfer

• Excitonic and photonic phenomena in nanostructures, atomic-layer materials, and van der Waals heterostructures

• Excited states in disordered, amorphous systems, organic materials and polymers

• Exciton-lattice interaction and photo-induced phase transition

• Strong light-matter coupling through microcavities, photonic crystals and plasmonic structures

• High-density excitonic systems and condensation

• Excitonic processes in photovoltaic materials and devices

• Applications of excitonic and photonic processes in quantum information processing

• Optical devices: LEDs and solar cells in inorganic and organic systems 

• New experimental and theoretical techniques applied to excitonic and photonic processes.
