Experiences in Applied Low Temperature Plasmas: Student Travel Support to Attend the 2011 American Vacuum Society International Symposium in Nashville, TN, 10/30-11/4/2011.

1129395 Goeckner该提案是为了部分支持学生参与在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的2011年美国真空学会国际研讨会的等离子体科学和技术领域。AVS侧重于表面科学，材料科学，真空科学与低温等离子体物理和化学，放电和等离子体化学及其技术应用的科学和技术方面。讨论的基本主题包括等离子体诊断，离子和电子分布函数，以及动力学，粒子在细胞（PIC）和流体等离子体建模。应用包括材料的等离子体处理，等离子体与表面的相互作用，激光，照明，等离子体医学，等离子体辅助燃烧等。AVS具有鼓励和促进学生参与的悠久传统。AVS有一个令人羡慕的声誉是第一次会议，许多社区的主要成员提出了他们的研究成果作为研究生。学生参与AVS对于年轻科学家和工程师的专业发展尤为重要。智力优势：AVS是应用低温等离子体（LTP）科学和技术领域领先的国际会议。该会议是首次介绍世界领先的LTP研究发展的场所，从照明和激光到等离子体材料加工和等离子体医学。受邀演讲者代表全世界？在LTP领域的领先工业和学术科学家。今年的会议预计将延续传统，介绍等离子体物理和工程的最新进展。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会拓宽了研究生的视野。更广泛的影响包括美国年轻科学家有机会参加他们领域最重要的国际会议之一。他们将有机会亲自观察该领域的科学和文化多样性，并与国际同行建立长期的职业合作关系。组织者将特别努力支持妇女和代表性不足的少数民族研究生。

1129395GoecknerThis proposal is for partial support of student participation in the plasma science and technology fields in the 2011 American Vacuum Society International Symposium in Nashville, TN. AVS focuses on scientific and technological aspects of surface science, materials science, vacuum science with the physics and chemistry of low temperature plasmas, electric discharges and plasma chemistry, and their technological applications. Fundamental topics addressed include plasma diagnostics, ion and electron distribution functions, as well as kinetic, particle-in-cell (PIC) and fluid plasma modeling. Applications include plasma processing of materials, plasma interaction with surfaces, lasers, lighting, plasma medicine, plasma aided combustion among others.The AVS has a strong tradition of encouraging and promoting student participation. The AVS has an enviable reputation of being the first conference that many of the leading members of the community presented their research results as graduate students. Student participation in AVS is particularly important to the professional development of young scientists and engineers.Intellectual Merit: AVS is the leading international conference in the science and technology of applied low temperature plasmas (LTPs). The conference has been the venue of the first presentations on world leading developments in investigations of LTPs, from lighting and lasers, to plasma materials processing and plasma-medicine. The invited speakers represent the world?s leading industrial and academic scientists in LTPs. This year's conference is expected to continue the tradition of presenting on the state of the art in plasma physics and engineering.Broader Impact: This symposium broadens the perspectives of graduate students. The broader impacts include the opportunity for young U.S. scientists to attend one of the most important international conferences in their field. They will have the opportunity to observe firsthand the scientific and cultural diversity of the field, and establish what will hopefully be career long collaborations with their international counterparts. The organizers will make a special effort to support women and underrepresented minority graduate students.
