Description: Following the long tradition that started in 1987, the International Workshop on Positron Studies of Defects 2024 (PSD-24) will be held in Como, Italy, in the period from September the 1st to 6th, 2024. The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for exchange of the latest results and scientific information concerning the positron interactions with solids and surfaces, the generation of slow positron beams and their applications.

Description: This proceedings volume contains the proceedings of all presentations of the 16th International Symposium on Ultra Clean Processing of Semiconductor Surfaces (UCPSS) 2023. The subject matter of the UCPSS symposium is ultra-clean processing, isotropic selective etching and surface preparation technology in all steps of the fabrication of micro-and nano-electronic integrated circuits. This volume describes the recent progress in the field of ultra clean surfaces, surface cleaning and preparation for the production of micro- and nano-electronic integrated circuits and related subjects. This involves a wide variety of surfaces of mixed composition and with nano-topography. The goal of the processes is to obtain nano precise etching and cleaning resulting in ultra clean surfaces with a very high degree of perfection, i.e. with minimal amounts of residues or defects. This comprises different surface and cleaning steps throughout the entire device manufacturing process.

Description: This special volume is devoted to the new and fast evolving field of physics and technology of functional nanomaterials and devices. The published review and original research papers contain new experimental and theoretical results in the field of fabrication and utilization of functional nanomaterials and devices for modern micro- and nanoelectronics with special emphasis on technology, physics and diagnostics. The problems of application of new materials, structures and devices for low power consumption and energy harvesting as well as for nanosensors (of pressure, temperature, biological species), optoelectronic devices and micro/nano-mechanical systems are addressed and discussed.

Description:

The first book of the Proceedings of ASCO-Nanomat 2015 includes articles of 41 contributed papers of the third school-conference, which were recommended for publication by Publishing Committee. The articles reflect the new results and scientific achievements in the field of growth and synthesis of new nanomaterials and coatings, technology of their growth and preparation, their physical properties, calculations and modeling of the electronic structure and properties of new nanomaterials. The Proceedings consist of two chapters. In the first one “Semiconducting and Metal Nanoheterostructures: Self-Organization and Characterization” the 14-th articles devoted to atomic processes and nanostructure formation and characterization and ab initio calculations and modeling were collected. In the second chapter named “Nonlinear Optical Mediums, Nanocomposites, Nanostructured Coatings, Functional Materials and their Applications” the 27 articles devoted to formation technology and characterization of different kinds of nanomaterials of organic and non-organic nature were presented. This proceedings volume is intended for scientists, readers, professors and post-graduate students.

This work reflects the wide and fascinating range of fields to which positrons have made important contributions. This covers, in particular, the development of low-energy (eV-keV) beams of essentially mono-energetic positrons, in the late 1960s, which opened the door to an even wider range of fundamental and technological studies: from surface physics to polymer films. In her introduction Professor Ganguly offers some background knowledge on the extent to which positrons have influenced and contributed to work in numerous fields.
