MSS History
MSS (International Conference on Modulated Semiconductor Structures) was started as “Metastable and Modulated Semiconductor Structures (MMSS)” on 6-10 December 1982, in Pasadena, California, USA. The conference received its present name in 1985 and, since then, it has been regularly organized in every 2 years. The purpose of MSS is to provide an international forum on the latest progress in the field of physics, formation, processing, and device applications of modulated structures.
