The 18th International Conference on II-VI Compounds provides an international forum for scientists, students and industry representatives for reporting new developments in basic and applied research on II-VI and related compounds, such as oxides, chalcopyrite semiconductors, topological and novel 2D materials. The conference covers novel synthesis techniques, new physical properties and innovative device development. The conference continues a successful series of biennial conferences which started in Durham (UK) in 1983.

A naive distinction between metals and insulators rests on the single-electron picture: completely filled or empty bands characterize insulators while metals have some partially filled bands. Nature, however, offers a much richer variety of behaviors: Mott insulators would be band metals in the absence of electron correlation while strongly-correlated metals behave quasiparticle-like only in the Fermi-liquid regime. Correlated metals and insulators can be distinguished by the gap in the spectral function. Superconductors form a class of their own, they have a single-electron gap but are not insulators. This year’s school addresses the rich physics of correlated insulators, metals, and superconductors. Insulators show complex ordering phenomena involving charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom. Correlated metals exhibit non-Fermi-liquid behavior except right at the Fermi surface. Superconductors are dominated by the delicate interplay of coupling bosons and quasiparticles. Along with the phenomena, the models and methods for understanding and classifying them will be explained. The aim of the school is to introduce advanced graduate students and up to the modern approaches for modeling strongly correlated materials and analyzing their behavior.

Bose Institute is celebrating its centenary year through various year-long programmes covering all the disciplines the institute is engaged in. As a part of this centenary celebration and to commemorate its 100th birth anniversary, we are organizing a National Conference on Recent Trends in Condensed Matter Physics from 31st October to 3rd November 2017. Condensed matter physics is the branch of science that deals with the fundamentals of solids and liquids. It is considered as one of the largest and most versatile sub-fields of study in physics, due to the diversity of topics and phenomena which impact our daily lives by providing foundations for development of technology. The study of condensed matter physics involves measuring various material properties via experimental probes along with using techniques of theoretical physics to develop mathematical models that help in understanding physical behaviours. This field overlaps with chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology, and relates closely to atomic physics and biophysics. Research in condensed matter physics has given rise to several device applications, such as the development of the semiconductor-transistor, and laser technology. Several phenomena studied in the field of nanotechnology come under condensed matter physics.

ICOTOM-18 will foster the fundamental understanding of the basic processes underlying the formation of texture and its relation to the anisotropic properties of polycrystalline materials. With EBSD and other techniques providing textural information from the nano to the macro scale, our understanding of the links between the local orientation and texture evolution and material properties continues to grow. ICOTOM-18 will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent progress in texture and anisotropy research. Materials scientists and geoscientists as well as engineers are invited to come together in the scientific exchange at ICOTOM-18 to further the fundamental understanding of texture and anisotropy with an aim to convert that basic scientific understanding into real-world engineering solutions. With the unique geology of the region we particularly invite geoscientists to participate and contribute to the texture (or fabric) conversation.

This workshop will examine and discuss the recent theoretical, computational, and experimental discoveries and challenges in the area of Dirac and Weyl materials. Recent progress in the field of Dirac and Weyl materials has been taking the field of quantum materials in new directions. We now witness a rapid adoption of concepts of Dirac and Weyl materials in diverse fields of materials science and physics including semimetals, cold atoms, as well as systems hosting bosonic and magnetic excitations with nodal structures. We also see new experimental realizations of artificial Dirac and Weyl materials based on the intercalation of heterostructures. An important development in the field is the new ideas on time dynamics of quantum and Dirac materials that open up possibilities of temporal control of these materials.
