Phonons 2015

 

The 15th International Conference on Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter, Phonons 2015, is the latest in the pre-eminent conference series on the physics of phonons and phonon interactions. It is held nominally every three years, the recent previous conferences were held in Taipei, Taiwan (2010) and Michigan, USA (2012).

Phonons 2015 will consist of: plenary sessions covering some of the latest developments in phonon physics; parallel oral sessions, including invited talks on key topics; poster sessions; and social events to facilitate discussions in the phonon physics community.

The conference will take place on the University of Nottingham, University Park campus, close to the historic city of Nottingham. The city has excellent transport links to the major international airports in the UK and is easily reached by visitors from all over the world.

Registration for Phonons 2015 will remain open until the start of the conference, please follow this link.

The conference program is now complete and the final version of the Program Booklet is now online. Please follow the link on the sidebar.

The local organizing committee is looking forward to welcoming you to Nottingham. There will be a welcome reception with drinks and a barbecue on Sunday 12th July at 18:00 after registration. We wish you a trouble-free journey to Nottingham.
