SCOPE
To bring
together highly qualified researchers currently working with or on gettering
materials from differing points of view, and thus fostering synergetic
exchange between areas and domains which usually do not directly interact.
Physical and chemical getters will be considered. The Workshop is organized
by the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications
(IUVSTA). The invited speakers will encompass:
- Vacuum
metallurgists experts in preparing chemical getters and tailoring
their properties.
- Vacuum
scientists experts in evaluating macroscopic properties of getters
such as pumping speed and capacity as a function of external variables.
- Surface
scientists experts in evaluating and modeling the surface and near-surface
properties of gettering materials as a function of different physical
and chemical parameters such as temperature, gas exposure, and surface
preparation.
- Scientists
experts of specific applications of gettering materials in science
and technology (e.g. getters for hydrogen storage, ultra purification
of gases, etc.).
TOPICS
- Metallurgy
of non evaporable gettering materials (NEG's)
- Evaluation
of vacuum properties of getters
- Ultra
purification of gases via NEG's
- Surface
and near-surface characterization of gettering materials
- Thermodynamics
and kinetics of the getters' behavior
- Role of
defects
- Adsorption:
chemical versus physical
- Molecule
dissociation
- Indiffusion,
desorption, formation of surface compounds
- Hydrogen
storage and hydrides in NEG's
- New and
exotic applications of gettering materials
- Present
applications of gettering materials
- Theory
of gettering
- Catalysis
- Outgassing
phenomena
FORMAT:
The Workshop will be organized on the basis of invited talks. Contributed
papers will be selected after abstract submission. A poster session will
be organized as well. A limited number of registrations will be accepted.
DATE:
June 5-10, 1999
VENUE:
Bonassola (Italy). The Workshop will be held in the St. Erasmo's Oratory
Conference Center located in Bonassola. The site is on the beautiful Mediterranean
rocky coast of Liguria. Bonassola is about 70 km far from Genoa (Genova).
TRAVEL: Bonassola can be reached by train or car. Train
connections are from Milan and Genoa where international airports are
located
SOCIAL EVENTS: Excursions to the Le Cinque Terre by
boat are planned. People booking half board will enjoy a beach party.
Otherwise an additional charge will be required.
