Thirteeth International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering
Conference and Exhibition
September 10-14, 2012
Kongresshaus
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany)

Scope of the PSE Conference: Fundamentals and applications of plasma and ion beam techniques in surface engineering. The biennial PSE conference series is organized by the European Joint Committee on Plasma and Ion Surface Engineering. PSE provides an opportunity to present recent progress in research and development and industrial applications. Its topics span a wide range from fundamentals such as e.g. process modelling and simulation of plasmas or thin film physics, through empirical studies which e.g. establish the relationships between process parameters and the structural and functional properties of modified surfaces and/or thin films, towards the application in industrial production.

Abstract Due Date: January 31, 2012

Featuring SVC Tutorial Course:
Thursday, September 13, 2012 - C-332 - Zinc Oxide-Based and Other TCO Alternatives to ITO: Materials, Deposition, Properties and Applications, Clark Bright, 3M Corporation

Submission of Papers and Registration only electronically via the website. Reduced Registration Fee available until July 1, 2012. www.pse-conferences.net/pse2012
