30 August–4 September 1976 international conference on organic conductors and semiconductors
Vol. 18, No.8
CALENDAR OF SOLID STATE EVENTS
29 June—i July 1976 Second International Meeting on Cadmium Telluride and its Applications, Strasbourg, France. The conference will deal with the preparation, crystal growth, and defect properties of the compound. It will also consider applications to various devices such as electrooptic modulators, laser windows, 7-ray detectors, solar cells, and electroluminescent light sources, as well as aspects of applying such devices to various practical problems. There will be a number of invited reviews on pertinent topics and original contributions of 15 mm duration can still be accepted. Attendance is restricted to persons active in these fields and invitations may be obtained from: P. Siffert, Centre des Recherches Nucleaires, 67037 Strasbourg, France. R.O. Bell, Mobil Tyco Solar Energy Corp. 16 Hickory Drive, Waltham, Mass. 02154, U.S.A. 17—29 August 1976 Chemsitry and Physics of One-dimensionalMetals A NATO Advanced Study Institute on this topic will be held at Bozen/Italy. Lecture courses will cover the basic theory, the synthesis and physical investigation of organic and inorganic one-dimensional conductors. This includes a discussion on the electronic properties of these compounds and of the physical methods which have been used to identify one-dimensional solid state behaviour. Further details and application forms are available from: Prof. Dr. Heimo J. Keller, Anorganisch-Chemisches Institut der Universität Heidelberg, D 6900 Heidelberg 1, Im Neuenheimer Feld 270/GFR. 30 August—3 September 1976 XII International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, Roma Italy. The Rome Semiconductor Conference, 13th of the series of international conferences sponsored by IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics), will mainly deal with the fundamental aspects of semiconductor physics, following a pattern that has characterized all previous meetings. Topics that have drawn focal attention in the most recent meetings of Boston (1970), Warsaw (1972) and Stuttgart (1974), will again be emphasized, along with new rapidly developing subjects.
in
The Organizing Committee is tentatively proposing the following list of topics to be given particular emphasis: Optical properties; Transport phenomena; Surface and Interface Properties; Junction and heterojunctions; High-intensity spectroscopy;Photoemission and Recombination processes; One and two-dimensional effects; Metal-semiconductor transitions; Narrow-gap semiconductors; Amorphous semiconductors; New materials and devices; Many-body effects; Lattice dynamics. Invited speakers will be selected to cover the most interesting developments. Contributed papers reporting significant results will also be considered, unless they have been presented elsewhere. All papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. The Conference sessions will be held at the Auditorium della Technica, located at EUR, a modem business district on the southern edge of Rome. Detailed topological information will be provided in due time. A number of hotels are available in the area. However, as transportation to and from downtown Rome is very convenient, participants wishing to lodge in the city will meet no difficulties in commuting. The OrganizingCommittee will accept applications up to a maximum of 1000 participants. All su~estionsand requests for information of a technical nature should be forwarded to: Prof. Andrea Frova, Instituto di Fisica G. Marconi, P. le delle Scienze 5,00185, Roma, Italy.
30 August—4 September 1976 International Conference on Organic Conductors and Semiconductors, Siofok, Hungary. This conference is sponsored by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Central Research Institute for Physics. The conference will be concerned with the current status and directions of theoretical and experimental research on organic conductors and semiconductors. The topics will include the physical properties of charge transfer salts and mixed valence compounds and the chemical aspects of these materials; metal—insulator transitions in quasi one-dimensional systems, and model descriptions of low.dimensional cooperative phenomena. Emphasis will be laid on the physical properties and on the effect connected with the low dimensional character of these systems. Information:

30 August—il September, 1976 Electrons in Finite and Infinite Structures, Gent, Belgium. A NATO Advanced Study Institute on “Electrons in Finite and Infinite Structures” will be held at the State University of Gent, Belgium. Information and application forms available from: Prof. Dr. P. Phariseau, Rijksuniversiteit Gent, Krijgslaan 271, gebouw S9, B-9000 Gent, Belgium. 1—3 September 1976 International Conference on Magneto-Optics, Zurich, Switzerland. The conference is planned to be held at the Physics Department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich-Honggerberg, as a sateffite meeting to the International Magnetism Conference in Amsterdam (September 6—10, 1976). The conference is recommended by the EPS Magnetism Section of the Condensed Matter Division and IUPAP. It is the aim~of the conference to bring together scientists working in the field of Magneto-Optics and to discuss various aspects like methods of measurement, experimental and theoretical research and applications.

Wachter, Laboratorium fur Festkorperphysik ETHZ, Honggerberg, CH 8049 Zurich, Switzerland. 1—4 September 1976 Crystal Field Effects in Metals and Alloys, Zurich, Switzerland. The International Conference on Crystal Field Effects in Metals and Alloys will be held at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, from Wednesday, September 1, through Saturday, September 4, 1976, immediately before the International Conference on Magnetism in Amsterdam and the Third European Crystallographic Meeting in Zurich. It will be sponsored by the ETH. The purpose of this conference

is to bring together scientists interested in all aspects of crystal field effects in metals and alloys. Those interested in the scope of the conference program are invited to attend this conference and to contribute to the technical sessions. The program will consist of invited and contributed papers in all branches of science involving crystal field effects in metalsAand alloys, and there will time for discussions. conference summary willbebeample presented by B.R. Cooper. Specific categories of interest are: (1) Spin waves and excitons (crystals, disordered matenals). (2) Soft modes and critical effects (Jahn—Teller effect, phase transitions, central modes).
