Welcome
EDISON 23 - The 23rd International Conference on Electron Dynamics in Semiconductors, Optoelectronics and Nanostructures - will be held at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA, July 20-25, 2025. EDISON 23 will highlight the latest progress in the fields of fundamental physics and applications of electron dynamics in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, and nanostructures.
Conference Scope
The focus of the EDISON series is on the fundamental physics and applications of nonequilibrium classical and quantum carrier dynamics in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, and nanostructures. Specific topics of particular interest include:
- Nonequilibrium electronic and thermal transport in materials, nanostructures and devices
- Terahertz phenomena in materials and devices
- Mesoscopic transport phenomena
- Electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional systems, including 2D materials and their heterostructures
- Fluctuations and noise in nonequilibrium carrier dynamics
- Carrier and phonon dynamics, including for quantum and sensor/detector technologies
- Carrier dynamics in ultrafast optical phenomena
- Spintronics, spin coherence, and magnetization dynamics
- Electronic properties, optical properties, and phase transitions of topological materials and devices
- Charge dynamics in energy conversion and energy harvesting processes
- Interaction of charges with plasmonic, phononic and mechanical excitations
About EDISON
EDISON 23 will be the 23rd meeting of the international conference series formerly initially established as "Hot Carriers in Semiconductors", first held in 1973 in Modena, Italy, and since 2009 running under the name EDISON. The meeting has been held on a biennial basis, cycling sequentially between Europe, the US and Japan. Prior meetings were held in: Denton, USA (1977); Montpellier, France (1981); Innsbruck, Austria (1985); Boston, USA (1987); Scottsdale, USA (1989); Nara, Japan (1991); Oxford, UK (1993); Chicago, USA (1995); Berlin, Germany (1997); Kyoto, Japan (1999); Santa Fe, USA (2001); Modena, Italy (2003); Chicago, USA (2005); Tokyo, Japan (2007); Montpellier, France (2009); Santa Barbara, USA (2011); Matsue, Japan (2013); Salamanca, Spain (2015); Buffalo, USA (2017); Nara, Japan (2019) and Münster, Germany (2023). The meeting serves as the premier forum for researchers working on the study of nonequilibrium classical and quantum carrier dynamics in semiconductors, optoelectronic devices, and nanostructures, from all parts of the globe.
