ICTMC-19

19th International Conference on Ternary and Multinary Compounds



TOKI MESSE


The ICTMC-19 is the 19th conference in the series beginning with ICTSC-1 in Bath (1973), and following ICTMC-17 in Baku (2010) and ICTMC-18 in Salzburg (2012). The conference is covering physics, chemistry, materials science, device engineering, and also growth and theory of various ternary and multinary compounds: chalcopyrite-type (I-III-VI2, II-IV-V2), kesterite-type (I2-II-IV-VI4), sphalerite-type and wurtzite-type (III-V, II-VI, etc.), perovskite-type, skutterudite-type, complex-oxides, complex-nitrides, and so on. We would like to exchange information and experience between relevant material fields in the interdisciplinary forum.

Topics

  1. Growth and preparation techniques; bulk materials, thin films, nanostructured materials, nanoscale structures
  2. Characterization techniques, including large scale facilities
  3. Computational material design and modeling
  4. Photovoltaic materials and applications (CIGSSe, CZTS, CTS, etc)
  5. New high-efficiency solar-cell design based on multi-junction, nano-dots, mid-gap-state, and others
  6. Light emitting materials and devices
  7. Spintronic, thermoelectric, multiferroic and superconductive materials and applications
  8. Miscellaneous

Niigata City Japanese map


Niigata City is the main island's first ordinance-designated city on the west coast of Japan. Niigata City's transportation infrastructure is equipped with an international airport and harbor, bullet train, and a network of highways. It takes 2 hours from Tokyo Station by bullet train or an hour from Narita Airport by airplane. Niigata City also has a rich natural environment with many bodies of water, including two large rivers, lagoons and wetlands. The fertile fields of the vast Echigo Plain produce a multitude of rice-based products and agricultural produce. You can enjoy good food and sake in the urban port city of Niigata.
