International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials

2-5 September 2013 | Riva del Garda, Italy

This International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials will showcase the latest results in physics and technology in this increasing materials science field.

Demands for energy, human health and the environment drive developments for new classes of innovative systems where carbon -based materials offer great potential to play a key role in making effective, economic applications. This conference will present the latest research achievements and applications of carbon and diamond-based materials and devices, with special attention towards electronic features and phenomena. In addition, tribology, hard coatings and hetero-systems combining for example AlGaN and diamond will be discussed.

Topics will include:

The conference will include the following topics:

• CVD growth of diamond and production and properties of nano-crystalline of diamond
• New developments and applications of carbon allotropes for bio- and environmental sensing
• Utilization of quantum effects for quantum computing, magnetometry and cryptography based on single defects
• Manufacturing of pn and pin-junctions for deep UV-LEDs and power devices by way of progress in growth and doping of diamond
• Applications of nano-diamond in drug delivery
• Growth of graphene and CVD of carbon nanotubes
• Use of carbon nanotubes in electronics, supercapacitors and batteries
• Use of graphene in displays, RF electronics, supercapacitors, batteries, electrochemical and biochemical sensing as well as metal- replacement in power devices
