Scope:
After the discovery and development of topological insulators and superconductors, many new wave propagation phenomena found in materials science and device physics have been identified and understood through previously unrecognized degrees of freedom based on topological invariants.
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together researchers in topological sciences in various fields, including natural sciences and engineering, and to share their latest research.
Topics covered in the presentations are expected from (but not limited to) the following fields.
-
- acoustics/phononics/mechanics
- photonics/optics
- topologicalinsulators
- spintronics and magnonics
- topological superconductors
- soft and biological matters
Venue:
Topological Wave Science will be held in Okayama Convention Center of Okayama city.
