This "International
Conference on Nonequilibrium Carrier Dynamics in
Semiconductors" is the 14th meeting in the series originally
known as "Hot Carriers in Semiconductors" (HCIS). Previous
HCIS meetings were held in Modena, Italy (1973), Denton, USA
(1977), Montpellier, France (1981), Innsbruck, Austria (1985),
Boston, USA (1987), Scottsdale, USA (1989), Nara, Japan
(1991), Oxford, UK (1993), Chicago, USA (1995), Berlin,
Germany (1997), Kyoto, Japan (1999), Santa Fe, U.S.A. (2001),
and Modena, Italy (2003).
The conference has been a
focus of the hot electron community since its inception in the
early 1970s and it has enjoyed increased attendance over the
years. In the 1980s, the rapid developments in ultra-fast
optical measurements in semiconductor systems brought the
optics community together with the hot-carrier community.
Likewise, rapid advancements in fabrication of quantum
confined semiconductor systems has shifted the interest from
primarily bulk materials and devices, to a whole host of
material and device structures based on quantum wells, quantum
wires, and quantum dots.
Recently, new challenging
fields have been added to the traditional subjects of interest
to the transport scientific community, including: experiments
and theoretical modeling on conduction in organic molecules
and biological systems; semiconductor-based spintronics;
coherent and entangled carrier dynamics for quantum data
processing.

conference will include:
