Workshops

The GEC will host four all day workshops on Monday October 10th, 2016.

Overview:
Workshop 1: Future Challenges in Plasma Physics, Uwe Czarnetzki et al.
Workshop 2: Plasma Kinetics, Toshiaki Makabe et al.
Workshop 3: Pulsed high power plasmas for the synthesis of nanostructured thin films, Peter Awakowicz, Ante Hecimovic et al.
Workshop 4: Electrification of the chemical industry, Richard van de Sanden, David Graves et al.

These workshops are designed to address current impactful focus areas in plasma science. Interested participants should contact the workshop organizer. Each workshop will feature 7-8 invited speakers and will conclude with a roundtable session. Each workshop roundtable will include discussion of the technical content as well as ways the GEC community may make future research contributions to advance this area of science.

Workshop 2: Plasma Kinetics

"New directions of charged particle kinetics in low temperature plasmas"
- more precision, more exploration, more discovery -

Organizing committee
Prof. Satoshi Hamaguchi (Osaka Univ, Osaka)
Prof. Ralf Brinkmann (RUB, Bochum),
Prof. Ronald White (James Cook Univ, Townsville)
Prof. Zoran Petrovic (IOP, Belgrade)
Dr. Peter Ventzek (Tokyo Electron America, Austin)
Prof. Toshiaki Makabe (Keio Univ, Tokyo)

Workshop purpose
This workshop will address modeling of charged particle kinetics in low-temperature plasmas focusing on techniques associated with the Boltzmann equation. A small number of specialists in the development of theoretical and numerical methods for the solution of collisional kinetic equations will come together to discuss the current developments in the field and its role in low-temperature plasmas. An outcome will be a vision for future directions in the quest for more precise methods leading to new physics.

Workshop 3: Pulsed high power plasmas for the synthesis of nanostructured thin films

Organizing committee
Peter Awakowicz, Ante Hecimovic

Workshop purpose
The driving force behind this Workshop is to discuss latest findings in the field of HiPIMS. HiPIMS is a cutting edge PVD technology used for deposition of thin films with advanced properties. Focus of the workshop will be on properties of the HiPIMS plasma and on the thin film growth process under a high ion flux irradiation. In particular the correlation of plasma characteristics to thin film performance will be addressed. The talks will encompass all aspects of the HiPIMS process, from plasma diagnostic and plasma modelling, to the growth processes at the substrate.
