The following

The Vacuum Group of the Institute of Physics and the E5 Professional Group of the Institution of Electrical Engineers are to hold a joint conference on ‘Vacuum Devices’ at the New Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge from 24 to 28 March 1980. The conference will embrace the electronic design and performance of devices, and also manufacturing problems with special emphasis on the vacuum environment. Such subjects as designs for improved characteristics, novel devices, construction and processing techniques, gettering, electron emission and diagnostic and measuring techniques would come within the scope of the conference.

The Atomic Collisions in Solids Group of the Institute of Physics is holding a conference on Low Energy Ion Beams from 14-l 7 April 1980 at the University of Bath. It will provide an opportunity for scientists of many disciplines working with ion beam and plasma-based systems (operating typically between about 1 keV and 1 MeV) to get together. The conference aims to promote a good exchange between specialists in ion source development and beam production on one side and applications-oriented researchers and technologists on the other. In this rapidly developing field, ion beams and plasma deposition processes are being deployed for damage studies, fusion research, semiconductor processing and machining, materials modification in metals and insulators and surface scattering analysis.
