Introduction

The Physics of Group IV Semiconductors Workshop 2003 is a collaboration between the UK Network on Point Defects in Silicon and Si/Ge and the UK Diamond Research Network.

The workshop will be held at the University of Exeter between the 7th and 10th of April 2003.

There is a need for papers. There will be a published proceedings of full length papers in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is the 21 February 2003.

Preliminary Programme

Unless stated all events take place in the Harrison building, rooms 101, 102 and 103.
