This is the tenth in a series of bi-annual conferences on the Physics of Semiconductors sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. Recent conferences were at Paris (1964), Kyoto (1966), and Moscow (1968).

CALENDAR OF SOLID STATE EVENTS The general form of these conferences will be followed. As in the past, papers on devices will be excluded. The topics to be covered will limited to those that have been developing at a particularly rapid rate in recent years. Papers on many classical subjects of semiconductor physics and those appropriate to other conferences will be severely limited. Only paper of unusual irnportance will be accepted in these areas. A partial list of subjects to be stressed is: Phonon Electron Interactions, Quantum Optics, Optical Properties, Low Mobility Semiconductors—Amorphous and crystalline, and Non-linear Electron Transport including tunneling.

19—23 July 1971 International Conference on Light Scattering in Solids Paris, France The purpose of this Conference is to bring together specialists interested in the field of condensed matter, its phase transformations, elementary excitations and the methods and problems of studying the fundamental behaviour of interacting systems via light scattering. The programme is planned for the following subjects: light (Rayleigh, Brillouin, Raman) scattering b~’ elementary excitations in solids such as plasmons, phonons, single particle electron excitations, and magnons; mechanism of light scattering; critical phenomena, phase transitions iii solids; lattice defects and disordered systems; metals and heavily doped systems; stimulated Raman scattering; new experimental methods,
