Forthcoming Institute Conferences

Date: Wed, 20 June 2007
Venue: Institute of Physics, London, UK
Organised by: Ion and Plasma Surface Interactions Group (IPSI) of the Institute of Physics
Sponsored by:Thin Films and Surfaces Group, Vacuum Group and Applied Physics and Techology Division of the Institute of Physics

Introduction

This one day meeting has become an annual event providing a forum for those involved in using plasmas or ion beams for surface modification and thin film deposition. Topics covered include modelling of fundamental atomic collisions in solids through to new techniques for high throughput industrial processes. The meeting usually attracts equal numbers of participants from Universities and Industry.
