IUAC Conferences/Workshops/Schools Event Banners

The passage of an energetic heavy ion in material, creates a highly dense nanometer sized modified zone due to electronic excitation and collision cascades along the ion trajectory on a sub-nanosecond time scale. The unique feature of ion beam is widely used in materials engineering and characterization, which are the key areas of materials science research at IUAC and is the basic theme of the biennial conference. The conference is the continuation of SHIMEC (Swift Heavy Ions in Materials Engineering and Characterization) conference series organized at New Delhi. Its scope has been widened to include the regime of low energy ions as well and has been renamed as IBMEC. The previous conferences in the series were SHIMEC 2010, SHIMEC 2012, SHIMEC 2014, and IBMEC 2016.

The conference will be preceded by an international school on “Ion Beams in Materials Science” which will cover the basic processes and fundamentals of the ion beam techniques.
