The Conference on Photo-Responsive Materials took place 25-29 February 2004 at
Kariega Game Reserve, South Africa. It was focused primarily on III-nitrides
(GaN, AlGaN, InGaN), SiC, ZnO and other wide gap materials, chalcopyrites such
as CuInSe2 for photovoltaic applications, and novel photoresponsive materials
including polymers. Materials-related issues within the scope of the conference
were crystal growth and epitaxy, characterisation (photoluminescence, DLTS, IR
spectroscopy), defect-related studies, processing, and opto-electronic devices
(modelling and novel structures).
