International Conference on High Pressure Semiconductor Physics (Jul. 31-Aug. 3 2006)
                  Scope of the Conference
                  
                  The Twelfth International Conference on High Pressure Semiconductor Physics
                  (HPSP-12) is a satellite of the International Conference on the Physics of
                  Semiconductors (ICPS) to be held in Vienna (Austria) during the previous week.
                  Its aim is to bring together scientists and engineers who use high pressure and
                  other forms of high stress in the study of semiconductors to present and discuss
                  their latest results in this field. The HPSP-12 conference will review, in
                  particular, the latest advances and developments in the study of nanostructured
                  semiconductor materials and devices using high pressure techniques. Papers on
                  both traditional bulk and low-dimensional systems are also welcomed. Submissions
                  of original work on topics including, but not limited to the following list,
                  are solicited:
                  
                  - Electronic Structures
- Vibrational Properties
- Optical Properties
- Transport Phenomena
- Defect States
- Structural Phase Transitions
- Spin dependent properties
- Novel materials, structures and devices
- New experimental or computational techniques
