Defect Formation, Characterization, Control and Utilization

The Gordon Research Seminar on Defects in Semiconductors is a unique forum for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting will explore two general themes. First, how experimental and theoretical techniques allow us to characterize defects at the microscopic level and their formation in semiconductor materials. Second, how one can utilize these insights via defect engineering to control the optical, electronic, and thermal properties of a material. Applications include but are not limited to optoelectronic devices, quantum technologies, and photocatalytic materials.
