4th International Workshop
"Current trends and advanced ellipsometry and all X-ray techniques for the characterization of TCO, BIO and other nanostructured materials"

Invitation

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate at the 4th edition of the "Current trends and advanced ellipsometry and all X-ray techniques for the characterization of TCO, BIO and other nanostructured materials" Workshop, that will be organized by the Institute of Physical Chemistry "Ilie Murgulescu" of Romanian Academy in Bucharest, Romania on September 12-14th 2012.



We intend to store all the presentations on memory sticks, to be distributed to all participants. Do you agree with this?
The organizing commitee.


The organizers would like to edit a printed volume (using a Romanian publishing House) of the conference papers, in an extended version (between 12-18 A4 pages). The volume will be distributed free of charge to the authors. Before proceeding we would like to know your opinion and comments regarding this initiative. Please email us.



Registration and participation is free of charge
Please send all abstracts until September 3rd
