ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

26th North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy Conference

Princeton University
August 9-12, 2009

Conference Co-Chairs:

Claire Gmachl (Princeton University)
Maria Tamargo (The City College of New York, CUNY)


Research institutions in the New Jersey and New York area, such as AT&T Bell Labs, IBM, Cornell University, and others, played a pivotal role in the early development of Molecular Beam Epitaxy, producing many of the pioneering breakthroughs in the field. It is therefore fitting to return to this geographic location for the 26th North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE) Conference, which will be chaired jointly by The City College of New York and Princeton University.

As in the past, the conference will explore topics in research and technology that are of interest to the MBE scientific community and will provide an opportunity for exchange of information and discussion about current and new directions. It will also provide a forum for extensive interaction with vendors of MBE equipment, related instrumentation and materials suppliers.

The following and related topics will be addressed in the conference:

  • Fundamentals of MBE growth
  • MBE growth modifications
  • Materials characterization
  • MBE technology
  • III-Nitrides and dilute nitrides
  • Oxides
  • II-VI materials
  • ZnO
  • III-V materials and structures
  • Si MBE
  • Hybrid materials
  • Photonic devices
  • Electronic devices
  • Spintronics
  • Low dimensional structures
  • Novel materials and device physics
