IoP Vacuum Group Tutorial Series Meeting: Surface Analysis Techniques

The Institute of Physics Vacuum Group will be holding the next meeting in its Tutorial Series on Surface Analysis Techniques on Wednesday April 4th 2012 at Diamond Light Source near Didcot in Oxfordshire.


Registration starts from 9:30am at Diamond Light Source, with presentations starting at 10:00.


Surface analysis methods are important for many academic and industrial problems. The aim of this tutorial-style meeting with talks from experts in different areas is to increase awareness of the range of available techniques and their capabilities and applications.


The target audience includes research workers and PhD students (primarily physics based) from academia and industry and others who are interested in finding out more about modern surface analysis methods and applications. All enquiries should be made to the local organiser, Dr Matthew Cox
 

Registration

The registration fee is £25. The deadline to register is 9th March 2012. Numbers are limited so early registration is recommended.


The registration fee for this meeting includes refreshments during the breaks and a light buffet lunch. There will also be the opportunity of a short facility tour of Diamond.


Please indicate on the registration form any special requirements and whether you would like to take the Diamond facility tour.
