The next (18-th) General Conference of the Condensed Matter Division
of the European Physical Society will be held in Montreux, Switzerland
from March 13 to 17, 2000, jointly with the Japanese and the Swiss
Physical Societies (see http://www.eps-cmd18.ch for details). The
Conference consists
of plenary sessions, parallel sessions and 1/2 day mini-colloquia on
specialised
topics. A mini-colloquium (see abstract below) will be organized on
ULTRAFAST SPECTROSCOPY OF CONDENSED MATTER
and will contain invited talks, contributed oral presentations and poster
presentations.
The invited speakers are:
Jochen FELDMANN, Univ. Muenchen, Germany: Title to be announced
Soren KEIDING, Univ. of Aarhus, Denmark
Far-infrared spectroscopy of solids and liquids using ultrashort
THz-pulses
Takayoshi KOBAYASHI, Univ. of Tokyo, Japan: Title to be announced
We strongly encourage you to submit abstracts for contributed papers and
for posters. Abstracts should be submitted via the Web page of the
conference http://www.eps-cmd18.ch before November 15th, 1999. Please fax
or email a copy to M. Chergui (see address below).
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
15 November 1999 Abstract submission
31 January 2000 Conference registration
21 February 2000 Hotel registration

Chairs of the mini-colloquium
MINI-COLLOQUIUM ON ULTRAFAST SPECTROSCOPY OF CONDENSED MATTER
The scope of the mini-colloquium is to present the most recent scientific
and technological developments in the field of ultrafast spectroscopy. In
addition to the traditional condensed matter systems which are being
investigated by ultrafast spectroscopy (e.g. semi-conductors), ultrafast
phenomena in many body systems such as clusters, solutions, surfaces and
interfaces, molecular solids and biological systems will be covered. The
phenomena of interest include carrier dynamics, structural dynamics, energy
dissipation, energy transfer, electron dynamics, chemical dynamics and
solvent dynamics.
>From the technological point of view, the development of new ultrashort
light sources from the IR to the X-ray domain will be covered, as well as
new experimental techniques for the study of condensed matter. The
mini-colloquim will include 3 invited talks, 6 to 8 contributed talks and a
2-hour poster session.
