History＆Topics

The Horiba-19th International Conference on “The Application of High Magnetic Fields in Semiconductor Physics and Nanotechnology (HMF-19)” will be held at Fukuoka International Congress Center, facing the Hakata bay, located in the central city in Kyushu Area, Japan, during August 1-6, 2010, as a satellite conference of the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS-2010, Seoul, Korea, July 25-30). The HMF-19 follows up outstanding meetings organized by predecessors in São Pedro (2008), Würzburg (2006), and so on, since 1972 when Prof. G. Landwehr has initiated this series. HMF-19 will become the 4th one held in Japan after Hakone, Tomiura, and Matsue. The program will be arranged so that stimulating discussions are possible among participants by allotting sufficient discussion time and by avoiding parallel sessions. We welcome participation of students as well. The scope of this conference covers all the new topics of basic and applied semiconductor related physics coming to light in magnetic fields as follows.

Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall Effects
Quantum Dots in High Magnetic Fields
Graphene
Carbon Nanotubes
Magneto-Optics
Magneto-Tunneling and General Magneto-Transport
Magnetic Resonance (ESR, NMR)
Novel Experimental Techniques in High Magnetic Fields
Electron Correlation and Emergent Phases in High Magnetic Fields
Spin-Related Phenomena
Organic Conductors
Nanowires
