The PASI 2013 workshop, entitled "Particle - surface interactions: from surface analysis to materials processing", will be held in Luxembourg from 3rd to 5th June 2013.
The purpose of the workshop is to provide a discussion forum for researchers working in different fields but with a common interest in processes based on low-energy eV to keV particle – surface interactions, including among others, surface analysis, materials processing and thin film deposition.
