You are cordially invited to participate in the XII-th International Conference "Ion Implantation and Other Applications of Ions and Electrons", ION 2018. The conference will be held in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, from June 18 to June 21, 2018.

The idea of ION Conferences has been stimulated by the permanent success and steady increasing interest in ion implantation techniques, which have emerged from fundamental research in ion and plasma physics and established themselves as standard methods for material modification and characterization.

The following topics represent the focus of the ION 2018:

formation and modification of subsurface layers using ion, electron and plasma electron technologies,

ion beam micro- and nano-engineering,

plasma – based and ion beam – assisted deposition method,

research methods with application of ions and electrons,

fundamentals of ion beam interactions with solids.

The range of materials includes metals, semiconductors, insulators, polymers, etc.

 

YOUNG SCIENTISTS CONTEST

During the ION 2018 Conference a special Young Scientists Session will be organized. Prizes will be awarded for the best 15 minutes oral and poster presentations. The Contest aims at Ph.D. students and scientists with not more than 6 years after their Ph.D. defence. The jury will be appointed by the Scientific Committee of the ION 2018 Conference.

In order to participate in the Young Scientists Contest, a candidate is asked to submit a short CV together with an abstract not later than April 15, 2018. The candidate should be a first author of the presentation.

 

CONTRIBUTIONS

In addition to the invited lectures, contributions for 15 minutes oral presentation will be selected from the submitted abstracts. Remaining contributions will be presented in poster sessions. The Proceedings of the Conference, containing papers accepted by referees, will be published.
