Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Ion Beam Modification of Materials (IBMM 2016)

Abstract

The papers in this issue of NIMB were presented at the 20th international conference on Ion Beam Modification of Materials (IBMM) held at Te Papa Museum, Wellington, New Zealand from October 30th until November 4th, 2016. This conference continued the proud legacy of New Zealand-born Lord Rutherford and his pioneering research in ion beam physics.

IBMM meetings cover a broad range of fundamental and applied research, and remain the conference of choice for those with an interest in ion-solid interactions and their applications. IBMM 2016 continued this tradition with more than 225 abstracts covering a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary research ranging from radiation therapy to quantum computing. The Program comprised 17 invited talks, 74 oral presentations, and 134 poster presentations, with the latter including two morning poster sessions with breakfast. The conference was attended by 172 delegates from 27 countries. © 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
