History1959–

International Conference on Defects in Semiconductors (ICDS) is a long running series of scientific meetings which focuses on research into point and extended defects in semiconductors. It developed as a spin off from the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, remaining a satellite meeting from the first conference on Radiation Effects in Semiconductors in Gatlinburg in 1959 (now known as ICDS 1) until becoming a separate meeting for ICDS 16. [1] The ICDS covers both basic and applied research topics, with special emphasis on applications of results to semiconducting materials and semiconductors-based device functionality. Traditionally, the ICDS has been held every 2 years in various cities around the world with frequent associated proceedings. [2]

Contents

The current ICDS (the 32nd) is at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, September 10-15th, 2023. [3] Its proceedings will appear as part of a special topic issue [4] of the Journal of Applied Physics.

ICDS 32 included the inaugural award of the Haller Prize, [5] named after Eugene E. Haller who was a major figure in the semiconductor community and an inspiring mentor for students. [6]

Corbett Prize

The Corbett Prize is awarded at the meetings to a young scientist for an outstanding contribution given at the ICDS. The prize is named in memory of James W. Corbett, one of the pioneers in the field of defects in semiconductors, who was known for helping and encouraging young researchers. [7] The prize has been awarded at every ICDS since 1995.

Rydberg matter is an exotic phase of matter formed by Rydberg atoms; it was predicted around 1980 by É. A. Manykin, M. I. Ozhovan and P. P. Poluéktov. It has been formed from various elements like caesium, potassium, hydrogen and nitrogen; studies have been conducted on theoretical possibilities like sodium, beryllium, magnesium and calcium. It has been suggested to be a material that diffuse interstellar bands may arise from. Circular Rydberg states, where the outermost electron is found in a planar circular orbit, are the most long-lived, with lifetimes of up to several hours, and are the most common.

Neutron resonance spin echo is a quasielastic neutron scattering technique developed by Gähler and Golub. In its classic form it is used analogously to conventional neutron spin echo (NSE) spectrometry for quasielastic scattering where tiny energy changes from the sample to the neutron have to be resolved. In contrast to NSE, the large magnetic solenoids are replaced by two resonant flippers respectively. This allows for variants in combination with triple axes spectrometers to resolve narrow linewidth of excitations or MIEZE for depolarizing conditions and incoherent scattering which are not possible with conventional NSE.

Geometric diodes, also known as morphological diodes, use the shape of their structure and ballistic / quasi-ballistic electron transport to create diode behavior. Geometric diodes differ from all other forms of diodes because they do not rely on a depletion region or a potential barrier to create their diode behavior. Instead of a potential barrier, an asymmetry in the geometry of the material creates an asymmetry in forward vs reverse bias current.
