VIIIth INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on MICROWAVE DISCHARGES: Fundamentals and Applications, 10-14 September 2012, Zvenigorod, Russia
Dear Colleague
We would like to invite you to participate in the VIIIth International Workshop on “Microwave Discharges: Fundamentals and Applications”, from Monday, 10th to Friday, 14th September 2012 (arrival at September 9, departure at September 14 after 4 pm), which will take place in the Rest Home of the Russian Academy of Sciences located 50 km to the North-West of Moscow in a picturesque place of the Moscow region close to Zvenigorod - one of the oldest towns of Russia. Zvenigorod was founded in 1152 in the high bank of the Moskva-river. At present the population of Zvenigorod is of 15000. This region is known as "Russian Switzerland". The weather in September in Moscow region is usually warm and soft. This period of the year is called in Russia an Indian summer. General Information International Workshop "Microwave Discharges: Fundamentals and Applications" is a three year periodical meeting which is held by turns in Russia and out of it. The main purpose is to discuss recent achievements in the study of microwave plasma, to identify directions for future research, and to promote close relationship between scientists from different countries. CALENDAR of the International Workshops “Microwave Discharges: Fundamentals and Applications” 1992, May 11-15, NATO ARW Workshop, Vimeiro, Portugal. Director C.M. Ferreira 1994, September 5-8, Zvenigorod, Russia. Chairman A.A. Rukhadze 1997, April 20-25, Fontenvraud, France. Chairman J. Marec 2000, September 18-22, Zvenigorod, Russia. Chairman Yu.A.

Chairman M.Kando Conference Scope The scientific program covers all modern aspects of microwave discharges connecting fundamental research and applications. The preliminary topics of the workshop are: methods of microwave plasma generation, high and low pressure microwave discharges, continuous wave and pulsed microwave discharges, interaction of microwaves with a plasma, discharge modeling, and diagnostics, application of microwave plasma (surface treatment, etching, film deposition, growth of structures, ecology, improvement of burning process, light sources, plasma medicine, analytical chemistry, etc). Selected topics of closely-related gas discharges problems can be also discussed. International Scientific Committee J. Asmussen (USA) E. Benova (Bulgaria) F. Dias (Portugal) A. Gamero (Spain) E.
