Topics

DPC is a cross disciplinary meeting for scientists interested in theoretical and experimental aspects of excited states dynamics in condensed matter in physics, chemistry, life sciences and material sciences.

DPC 22 will cover the following topics:

Spectroscopy and excited state dynamics of doped clusters, insulators and semiconductors- energy transfer, highly excited states, extreme conditions,electron-phonon interactions, phonon dynamics, ultrafast processes
Excited state dynamics of macromolecules and biomolecules- single molecule, photosynthesis, bioluminescence, bio-probes
Spectroscopy of nanoscale and single nano-object -up-conversion, plasmons, imaging
Coherent, nonlinear and high resolution spectroscopy -four-wave mixing, spectral filtering
Dynamics of photovoltaic and photocatalysis materials- electron transfer, down and up-converters
Optical control and detection of quantum systems- spin dynamics, quantum information processing, spintronics
