20th International Conference on Defects in Insulating Materials
23-27 November 2020
Scientific Topics
An online conference hosted by the Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil
The scope of the Conference is the presentation of the latest investigations on point and extended defects in bulk materials, thin films and nanostructures. Technological applications will be presented alongside fundamental measurements and theories. The main scientific areas include:
▪ Fundamental physical phenomena
▪ Point and extended defects in wide band-gap systems: oxides, fluorides, nitrides, alkali- and silver-halides, perovskites, minerals, ceramics, nanostructures, organic molecular crystals, glasses, high-k and low-k materials, photonic crystals
▪ Defects at surfaces and interfaces
▪ Thin films and low-dimensional systems
▪ Colloids, nano-crystals, and aggregates
▪ Defects and material preparation technology
▪ Defect modelling and computational methods
▪ Radiation effects, radiation induced defects, colour centres
▪ Luminescence of excitons, impurities, and defects
▪ Electronic excitations, excited state dynamics, radiative and non-radiative relaxations
▪ Scintillation, energy transfer and storage, carrier trapping phenomena
▪ Defect related non-linear optical phenomena
▪ Laser active centres
▪ Phonons and defects, electron-phonon interactions
▪ Defect diffusion, ionic relaxations, ionic transport
▪ Technological applications will include: Radiological and radiometric imaging and detection (scintillators and dosimeters)- Optical devices and photonics, photorefractive electro-optics, optical fibres, lasers- Materials for opto-electronics, photonics and micro-electronics- Solid electrolytes, fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, fast ionic conductors - Nuclear fuel.
