First Call for Papers 6th International Symposium on Growth of III-Nitrides Scope of the Symposium Call for papers The 6th International Symposium on Growth of III-Nitrides (ISGN-6) will be held on November 8-12, 2015 in Hamamatsu, Japan. This symposium follows the 1st symposium held in Linköping, Sweden; the 2nd in Izu, Japan; the 3rd in Montpellier, France; the 4th in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the 5th in Atlanta, USA. This symposium is devoted to exposition of recent progress and outlining future directions in the field of bulk substrates and thin film growth of III-Nitrides, as well as the growth and fabrication of nanostructures. The aim of ISGN-6 is to cover the development of all relevant growth techniques for the III-nitrides. This symposium will include both invited and contributed papers. A certain number of contributed papers will be upgraded to invited papers. Contributed presentations will be selected by the Program Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts. A large portion of the contributed papers will be presented as oral talks and poster discussions. Submission of Abstracts Abstract Deadline: June 5, 2015 Authors are requested to submit abstracts by using the submission form on http://isgn6.jp. Please refer to the detailed information on the abstract format provided on the website.
