Discussion journal for the Ion Beam Community

["Dr. Adam Georg Balogh" <agbalogh AT nano.tu-darmstadt.de>]

Special Issue on



Modification, Synthesis and Analysis of Advanced Materials using Ion 
Beam Techniques

Call for Papers



Beside the two largest international conference series (IBMM and IBA) 
there are some further related conferences dealing with ion beam 
techniques used on different research fields from biology to solid-state 
physics. These conferences have a partial overlapping covering a very 
broad spectrum of topics with the common feature using all ion beam 
techniques for modification, synthesis or analysis of different materials.

This special issue will be edited with the aim to give the ion beam 
community a peer-reviewed collection of original research contributions 
on the newest developments applying these techniques on the field of 
materials science.

We invite all researchers to contribute original research articles as 
well as review articles that can reflect properly the innovative 
character of these techniques and the huge efforts of technical 
development that have been made during the last years.

We have to emphasize that this special issue is a free access 
publication open to everybody who is interested in this field.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:



·         Particle tracks

·         Single-ion implantation for quantum computing

·         Novel materials synthesis

·         Synthesis of nanostructured materials

·         Interface engineering

·         Atomic transport at interfaces

·         Methods of light element analysis

·         Radiation effects in reactor materials

·         Ion beam analysis with nanometer resolution

·         Microbeams, focused ion beams

·         Irradiation effects in semiconductors

·         Modification and analysis of magnetic thin films

·         Plasma-based ion implantation
