[Sneap] Symposium on Particle Beam-Induced Radiation Effects in Materials

[Gary Was]

I wanted to call your attention to the symposium on Particle 
Beam-Induced Radiation Effects in Materials, being held at the 2008 
TMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, March 9-13, 2008.  Please consider 
submitting a talk and paper to this symposium.   Details of the 
symposium and abstract submission instructions are on the TMS website 
at http://cmsplus.tms.org/CMS/CMSPlus.nsf?OpenDatabase.  Select the 
2008 Annual meeting and then click on the symposium name in the list. 
The abstract deadline is July 15, 2007.  The scope of the symposium 
is as follows:

This symposium covers both low and high energy irradiations from 
charged particles ranging from electrons to heavy ions and over the 
energy range eV to GeV. Materials of interest include metals, 
ceramics, insulators, superconductors and semiconductors.  Both 
experimental and theoretical studies are solicited. 

Specific topics where contributions are encouraged include:
-	damage state from charged particle irradiation
-   	comparisons of damage morphology to that from neutron irradiation
-	comparisons of damage morphology among light and heavy ions 
and electrons
-	defect characterization
-	in-situ damage analysis
-	dose rate and temperature effects
-	application of radiation damage in the fabrication of nanostructures
-	modeling of solute and point defect behavior under irradiation
-	phase stability and solute segregation
-	radiation-enhanced diffusion
-	swift heavy ion tracks in insulators
-	nanoscale post-irradiation mechanical testing

Proceedings of the symposium will be published in a special issue of 
the Journal of Nuclear Materials.

The organizers are Gary S. Was (gsw at umich.edu), Stuart Maloy 
(maloy at lanl.gov), Christina Trautmann (C.Trautmann at gsi.de) and Maximo 
Victoria (maxvictoria at bluewin.ch).

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
