The 26th edition of the International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials will continue the longstanding practice of high level diamond and carbon material research. This meeting traditionally spans the complete spectrum from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focussing on the next generation carbon-based devices. It is the primary forum where junior and established scientist can meet to discuss the science and technology of carbon-based materials while enjoying a friendly atmosphere stimulating exchange of the latest results and new ideas. Several oral and poster sessions will be devoted to the different allotropes of carbon, with special focused sessions zooming in on recent trends and hot topics.

Topics include but are not limited to:
Deposition and in-situ doping of diamond and carbon materials using CVD and PVD techniques
Carbon nanostructures for energy harvesting and storage
Diamond power devices
Carbon-based heterostructures with novel oxide and nitride materials
Quantum effects and single defect engineering in diamond and related applications
Carbon surface physics and chemistry governing charge transfer
Solution processing of diamond nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and graphene
(Bio)(electro)chemical functionalization of carbon materials for biomedical and environmental use
