20th Russian Youth Conference on Physics of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Opto- and Nanoelectronics

Abstract

Editorial PrefaceThe 20th Russian Young Conference on Physics of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Opto- and Nanoelectronics was held in Saint Petersburg on November 26 – 30, 2018. It was organized by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.The program of the Conference included semiconductor technology, heterostructures with quantum wells and quantum dots, opto- and nanoelectronic devices and new materials. A large number of participants with more than 200 attendees from many regions of Russia provided a perfect platform for the valuable discussions between students and experienced scientists.Conference included two invited talks given by leading scientists devoted to actual problems and major advances in physics and technology. The keynote speakers were A.T. Burkov from Ioffe Physical Technical Institute (presentation “Thermoelectric effects and energy converters”) and K.V. Kavokin from Spin Optics Laboratory at St. Petersburg University (presentation “Spin physics: from semiconductors to birds”). Students, graduate and postgraduate students presented their results on plenary and poster sessions. The total number of accepted papers published in Russian (the official conference language) was 123. Here we publish 38 of them in English.List of Editors, Winners of the E.F. Gross Prize for the best presentation in semiconductor optics and Winners of the competition for the best report are available in this pdf.
