Conference Summary
| 53th Exitonic Processes in Condensed
Matter |
The International Conference
on Excitonic Processes in Condensed Matter, EXCON2000, is the fourth
conference of a series of conferences organized every two years. The
previous ones of the series have been held in Darwin, Australia (1994),
Kurort Gohrisch, Germany (1996) and Boston, USA (1998). The fourth International
Conference on Excitonic Processes in Condensed Matter, EXCON 2000, was
held at the Media Center, Osaka City University, Japan, August 22-25,
2000. EXCON2000 was held under the auspices of the International Union
of Pure and Applied Physics and sponsored by Yamada Science Foundation,
and under the name of Yamada Conference LIII.
EXCON2000 maintained focus on both experimental and theoretical topics of current
research interests in excitonic processes in condensed matter. Other important
topics relevant to the photoscience was discussed. The conference thus provided
an interdisciplinary forum for photo-physicists, photo-chemists, and material
scientists to discuss novel and new results in the field. Presentations were
done in both oral and poster forms.
Topics that have discussed are:
1) Excitonic Bose-Einstein Condensation and Superfluidity
2) Nanostructure Materials
3) Excitons in Organic Materials and Luminescent Polymers
4) Excitons in Semiconductors and Quantum Confined Systems
5) Excited States and Excitons in Disordered and Amorphous Systems
6) Near Field- and Micro-Spectroscopy of Excitons
7) Nonlinear Excitonic Processes
8) Ultra-fast and Coherent Excitonic processes
9) Photoinduced Structural Phase Change
10) Exciton-Lattice Interaction
11) Energy Transfer in Biological Systems
The editors are grateful to Dr. Hiroshi Ajiki for his assistance in every respect
of editing procedure.
