Semiconductor research showcased at two of the world's leading physics and metrology conferences
For decades, the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS) and Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM) have helped shape two closely connected fields: semiconductor physics and the science of precision electrical measurement. During August and September 2026, Warwick’s Semiconductors Research Group carried its research from Tokyo to Madrid, contributing nine presentations at ICPS before taking centre stage with a keynote lecture at CPEM.
The 37th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors was held in Tokyo from 16 to 21 August. Held every two years, the conference brings together leading scientists working on semiconductor materials, quantum transport, spin physics, nanostructures and emerging devices.
Associate Professor Makysm Myronov delivered four talks at the event, highlighting Warwick's latest results on record hold mobility in a compressively strained germanium low-dimensional system, the fully spin-polarised quantum Hall effect at sub-tesla magnetic fields, dielectric-free Schottky gating of the compressively strained germanium-on-silicon (cs-GoS) quantum-material platform, and the tuneable elastic properties of cubic silicon carbide thin films.
Dr Parinaz Tabrizian, a member of the Semiconductors Research Group, delivered a presentation on gate-programmable cryogenic Hall sensing using an ultra-low-density two-dimensional hole gas in cs-GoS, as well as presenting a poster alongside Dr Sabur Ayinde.
In September, members of the group attended the Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2026) in Madrid, where Makysm was one of four keynote speakers. CPEM has become one of the world’s foremost conferences devoted to precision electromagnetic measurement.
Attending both events showcases the groups growing influence across semiconductor physics, scalable quantum technology, cryogenic sensing and precision metrology, and show how research that begins with the growth of advanced materials can ultimately contribute to new quantum devices and standards of measurement.
