Topics in ICDS-26 will focus on research into point and extended defects, dopants, shallow and deep impurities including magnetic impurities in bulk materials as well as defects in organic semiconductors, low-dimensional and nanoscale structures, and oxide layers. Both basic and applied research topics will be covered, with special emphasis on applications of results to materials and device functionality.

Materials to be covered include, but are not limited to, group-IV semiconductors and their alloys, III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors, III-nitrides and alloys, organic and magnetic semiconductors.
