Springer Solid-State Sciences Fundamental Physics of Amorphous Semiconductors: Proceedings of the Kyoto Summer Institute Kyoto Japan September 8--11 Book 25 (Paperback)

The Kyoto Summer Institute 1980 (KSI 80) devoted to Fundamental Physics of Amorphous Semiconductors was held at Research Institute for Fundamental Physics (RIFP) Kyoto University from 8-11 September 1980. The KSI 80 was the successor of the preceding Institutes which were held in July 1978 on Particle Physics and Accelerator Projects and in September 1979 on Physics of Low-Dimensional Systems . The KSI 80 was attended by 200 participants of which 36 were from abroad: Canada France Korea Poland U.K. U.S.A U.S.S.R. and the Federal Republic of Germany. The KSI 80 was organized by RIFP and directed by the Amorphous Semicon- ductor group in Japan. A few years ago we started to organize an interna- tional meeting on amorphous semiconductors as a satell ite meeting of the International Conference on Physics of Semiconductors held on September 1-5 1980 in Kyoto. We later decided to hold the meeting in the form of the Kyoto Summer Institute. The Kyoto Summer Institute is aimed to be something between a school and a conference. Accordingly the object of the KSI 80 was to provide a series of invited lectures and informal seminars on fundamental physics of amorphous semiconductors. No contributed paper was accepted but seminars were open.
