ICDIM2008 – International Conference on Defects in Insulating Materials
(24 – 29 August 2008, Aracaju, SE, Brasil)
http://www.fisica.ufs.br/ICDIM2008

First Announcement

We are pleased to send you the first announcement of the ICDIM2008, which
will be held in Aracaju, capital of Sergipe State, in the northeast region
of Brazil, from 24 to 29 August 2008.

This is the 16th meeting in the conference series that began in 1956 at
Argonne, USA. The Conference deals with defect-related phenomena in
materials widely used in a number of different applications requiring
extremely high optical transparency in different spectral regions, or
strong interaction with X- or gamma rays and high-energy particles, or
mass and charge transport process in solid state. New challenges in energy
storage and production are included in the current topics covered by the
conference, as well as the development of sensors and smart materials.
Typical application fields are optical communication systems,
spectroscopy, digital medical radiography and tomography, dosimetric
systems in radiation protection and radiation imaging media,
scintillators, photorefractive and electro-optic materials, optical
fibres, lasers, materials for micro-electronics, solid electrolytes, fuel
cells, electrochemical sensors and fast ionic conductors. In the focus of
attention are novel nanoscale materials for applications in photonics.

The important dates are:
September 2007— First annoucement
December 2007 — First Circular
1st February 2008 — Abstract submission deadline
20th April 2008 — Acceptance Letter
May 2008 — Second Circular
24th May 2008 — Reduced fees deadline
24—29th August — Conference

The conference venue is Hotel Parque dos Coqueiros (Coconut Palm Tree Park
Hotel - http://www.hotelparquedoscoqueiros.com.br/).

Please, visit the ICDIM2008 conference homepage at
