SHIM 2012 - 8th International Symposium on Swift Heavy Ions in Matter (SHIM2012)

TOPICS

# Swift Heavy Ion Collisions in Gases, Liquids and Solids

Electronic excitations, ionizations and charge-transfer processes; stopping powers, local energy deposition and conversion; spectroscopy of secondary particles and photons; atomic displacements; relaxation of electronic excitations; conversion of electronic excitation energy into atomic motion; experiments as well as theoretical simulations.

# Material Modifications

Mechanisms of track formations; point defects; clusters and nanoparticles; phase transitions; recrystallization; sputtering and mixing.

# Chemical and Biological Radiation Effects

Ion-induced alterations in organic and inorganic materials; polymer modifications; radiolytic yields; radiobiology; ion beam mutation; particle tumor therapy.

# Applications

Materials texturing; polymer grafting; nanopores and nanowires based on ion-tracks; effects of high energy
