Invitation:

You are cordially invited to attend the 14th Symposium of Application of Plasma Processes (SAPP XIV), which will be held in  the JAMAJKA Hotel Bobrovnik, The Low Tatras, Slovakia.

General information:

The SAPP XIV is a biennial international conference, the last having been held in Tale, in 2001. Topics range from the basic physics and chemistry of thermal and low pressure plasmas to industrial processes and processing techniques. The conference should enable the exchange of information and ideas between basic/applied researches and industrial practitioners.

Topics:

ˇ         electrical discharges and other sources of low temperature plasma

ˇ         elementary processes and chemical reactions in low temperature plasma

ˇ         plasma enhanced deposition processes

ˇ         plasma-surface interactions

ˇ         properties of thin films and interfaces prepared with assistance of plasma

ˇ         application of plasma sources in technology, plasma treatment

ˇ         plasma synthesis, plasma spraying, plasma metallurgy

ˇ         plasma in industrial production of thin film solar cells, renewable energy sources

ˇ         environmental applications

Presentations:

The Conference programme will include invited (40 minutes), contributed (15 minutes) talks, and poster presentations. Contributions will be published in the Conference proceedings and also in non-shortened version in special issue of Acta Physica Slovaca (February 2003), dealt by Current Contents database, recognized by European Physical Society and indexed in Physics Abstracts.

Social programme:

A number of social events will be organized for conference participants and their guests. The programme will include every day skiing. There will be a variety of other possibilities such as excursions and sightseeing tours.

Language:

The Symposium language will be English.
