Topic Details

Crystal growth and characterization of bulk semiconductors
This topic covers crystal growth of bulk crystal. Materials include III-V, II-IV, and classical semiconductors. The topic comprises growth equipment as well as simulation of furnace and process.
Chairs: Jochen Friedrich (Germany), Daniel Vizman (Romania)

Crystals for photonics and optics
This topic covers the growth of crystals for application in optics and photonics, e.g. for lasers.
Also contributions on characterisation and  applications are welcome.
Chairs: Sebastian Schwung (Germany), Alexandra Peña Revellez (France)

Crystals and films for sensors and detectors
Chairs: Jose-Luis Plaza Canga-Argüelles (Spain), Andrea Zappettini (Italy)

Intermetallic and oxidic systems with correlated electrons
Crystalline material for (unconventional) superconductivity, exotic magnetism, heavy fermion behavior, charge ordering, and quantum criticality
Chairs: Sabine Wurmehl (Germany), Ekaterina Pomjukushina (Switzerland)

Epitaxy of semiconductors
The epitaxy of all kind of semiconductors is the contents of this topic. This includes epi-process, simulation and characterisation of the films. 
Chairs: Andre Strittmatter (Germany), Nicola Lovergine (Italy)

Ultrathin layers, 2D materials, and layer transfer
This topic addresses the field of 2D materials as promising candidates for new electronis and photonics. It also covers the new technique of layer transfer enabling creating new interfaces not available by classical epitaxy. 
Chairs: Jens Martin (Germany)

Growth kinetics and fundamentals of growth and defects
Fundamental investigations on growth, defect formation and dynamics.
In-situ observations,  characterization with atomistic resolution, mesoscopic and atomistic computations, etc.
Chairs: Elias Vlieg (The Netherlands), Mathis Plapp (France)

Simulation and machine learning for crystal growth and epitaxy
This topic covers all aspects of machine learning in the area of crystal growth and epitaxy. It also includes progress in simulation, computation of new processes and materials by means of continuum methods as well as atomistic methods.
Chairs: Markus Zenk (Germany), Janis Virbulis (Latvia)

Design, development & control of industrial crystallisation processes
This topic covers all aspects of crystal growth of pharmceuticals or in food industry,  including questions of polymorphism and stability.
Chairs: Heike Lorenz (Germany), Kerstin Maria Forsberg (Sweden)

Biological, macromolecular and bio-mimetic crystallisation
Chairs: Ye-Yeon Kim (United Kingdom), Filipa Castro Freitas (Portugal)
