IOP Divisions
The aim of the Applied Physics and Technolgy Division (APTD) is to provide a focus for promoting a range of physics based activities that are of relevance in an industrial context. APTD supports its member groups by encouraging and coordinating interaction between them.
APTD activities include:
- promotion of multidisciplinary research through sponsorship of multi-group seminars and workshops
- a biennial conference on a leading-edge research topic that is of relevance to each of the groups in APTD
- an industry-relevant exhibition of the latest equipment
- open forum networking discussions at the conference that promote potential joint research programmes
- annual student prizes available to all groups in APTD
- liaison with the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications, the British Vacuum Council, the UK Surface Analysis Users’ Forum, the Analytical Science Forum, PISE-UK (Plasma and Ion-surface Engineering), and some BSI and ISO committees
The groups currently affiliated to the division are:
- Applied Mechanics
- Computational Physics
- Electrostatics
- Energy Group
- Engineering Physics
- Environmental Physics
- Ion and Plasma Surface Interactions
- Materials and Characterization
- Nonlinear and Complex Physics
- Particle Accelerators and Beams
