Half of the Century Story of Semiconductors at the Institute of Physics and in Jaszowiec

Abstract

Since the foundation of the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IF PAN) in 1953, semiconductor physics has been its main research activity. This short paper provides lists of (i) organizational milestones of ''Jaszowiec'' and (ii) invited talks presented by physicists of IF PAN at the ''Jaszowiec'' meetings. For a more in-depth discussion covering selected fields of IF PAN's activity and containing references to original papers, readers are delegated to a recent essay completed by the present author for the 100th anniversary of the Polish Physical Society (T. Dietl, Acta Phys. Pol. A 139, 355 (2021), systematically updated versions at arXiv:2103.07456).
