Conference on electrical transport and optical properties of inhomogeneous media
Vol. 23, No.4
CALENDAR OF SOLID STATE EVENTS
(3) Notable improvements to existing devices; (4) New proposals for or improvements in devices processing and characterization; (5) New proposals and improvements in IC technology. Five copies of abstracts of contributed papers must be received by the Program Committee Chairman Dr. Yasuo Tarui, VLSI Labs 4-1-1, Miyazaki, Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki, 213, Japan, no later than May 31, 1977 and should conform to rules as sent upon request. Papers submitted will be reviewed by the program committee. The number of papers selected for presentation will be limited to about 35. Each speaker will be allowed 20 minutes to present his paper. There will be several invited speakers. The language for oral presentations will be either Japanese or English. However, the Digest of Technical Papers and the Proceedings will be in English. Information: Executive Committee Chairman, Prof. Takuo Sugano, Department of Electronic Engineering, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1, Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan. Organizing Committee Chairman, Prof. Junichi Nishizawa, Institute of Electrical Communication, Tohoku University, 2-1-1, Katah.ira, Sendai 980, Japan.
5—10 September 1977 International Conference on Lattice Dynamics, Paris, France. This conference will review the current situation in the field of lattice dynamics. The last general conference on the subject took place in Copenhagen in 1963. Recent years have seen some of the areas of lattice dynamics mature to the point that they should be summarized and brought to the active notice of a larger audience. In addition, a number of exciting new developments have occurred which deserve attention. The Conference will emphasize the unifying aspects and central issues of present-day lattice dynamics and will also highlight the newer topics. While not intended to be exclusive, the following topics will be heavily emphasized: (1) Basic Phonon Properties Microscopy Theory and Models. (2) Non-Linear Lattice Dynamics Weak interaction and Anharmonic Effects; Strong Interactions and Solutions. —

(3) Lattice Dynamics of Imperfect Crystals Amorphous Solids, Mixed Crystals and Defects. (4) Lattice Instabilities Phase Transitions and Melting. (5) Phonon—electron Interactions Lattice Dynamical Aspects of Charge Density Waves. (6) Lattice Dynamics of Surface and Interfaces. (7) Special Materials Low Dimensional Systems and Superiomc Conductors. Tutorial review talks will be arranged by the Program Committee. Contributed papers are solicited in all subjects listed above. Some review papers will be drawn from those contributed papers which are unusually timely or important. Information: —

Professor M. Balkanski, Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, Universit~Pierre et Marie Curie, 4, Place Jussieu, 75230 Paris Cedex 05, France. 7—9 September 1977 Conference on Electrical Transport and Optical Properties ofInhomogeneous Media, Colombus, Ohio, •U.S.A. There are many areas of condensed matter physics in whIch randomly distributed inhomogeneities play a significant role. Among these areas are the galvanomagnetic properties of inhomogeneous metals and semiconductors, transport effects in highly anisotropic conductors, and the optical and infrared properties of small particle composites. Although the variety of inhomogeneous systems is large, there exists an underlying unity to the subject which has not always been recognized. A principal aim of this conference is to bring together persons working on different inhomogeneous systems, so that this unity might become clearer. The deadline for abstracts of contributed papers is 1 July 1977. Information: J.C. Garland, Department of Physics, The Ohio State University, Colombus, OH 43210, U.S.A. 12—15 Sçptember 1977 III International Conference of the Physics of Narrow-Gap Semiconductors, Warsaw, Poland.
