Semiconductor Nanostructures towards Electronic and Optoelectronic Device Applications III, is the third installment of a highly successful biennial series that began in 2007. The symposium presents the latest research in semiconductor nanostructures and their applications to electronic, optoelectronic and photonic devices. It covers all aspects of this field from fundamental growth issues and material development, to device integration and testing.

Scope:
Semiconductor nanostructures are an emergent class of materials that provide unprecedented levels of functionality in building devices for electronics and optoelectronics applications. Nanoscale devices may be used to study new physics in low dimensional systems and enables a route for the development of new technologies in key areas, such as, communications and information processing, sensors and sensing and renewable energy. This symposium will provide a platform to discuss new nano-device structures and novel nano-materials at different stages on their way towards applications. These will includes, but are not limited to, the latest developments of novel nanostructures used in lasers, photodetectors, optical amplifiers, optical switches and waveguides as well as new device applications based on such nanostructures such as nanolasers and single photon sources. It will bring insight of the relevant fundamental materials issues as well as device design, functionality, and device physics.

The symposium will bring together researchers working in academia and industry to stimulate interaction among scientists, engineers, students working on various aspects of semiconductor nanostructures and their applications. This will help to strengthen this community, to unravel new directions of research which is the key for the ultimate success of semiconductor nanostructures towards electronic and optoelectronic device applications.

The proceedings of this symposium will be published in the journal Materials Science and Engineering B by Elsevier.
