The Monday after, … and after that ….

The organizing team of the 34th IVNC congratulates and thanks the fantastic participating public who made this conference a real scientific and networking success. Bravo.

A few points:

1. The 34th IVNC is dead but “Long live the 35th IVNC” 2022 in South Korea. Next year’s conference will be held in a beautiful university setting in South Korea hosted by Prefessor Kyu Chang Park.

His slide presentation was much appreciated by the steering committee and will be up soon on this web site.

2. Link for the posters that we have collected so far. Please feel free to send yours in, if you have not yet done so.

3. Links for the tutorials of Kevin Jensen, Andreas Kyritsakis and Soichiro Tsujino. We are hoping to have the other two soon.

4. The Bulletin board is still open to submissions.

 

 

Conference Day Notes

Posters. The poster session was not easy yesterday but we hope we will be better on Thursday.

To continue to promote your work we wish to make a combined pdf

of all the posters and put it on this website for a longer period of time.

Some of you have altready sent us posters with the 2 min flashes

but I ask you all to do that again with the beginning of the file name being the Conference slot for which you present.

 

 

 

Last few points before the big day.

1. Please validate your Zoom connection! Of course it’s urgent.

As you know one can only access the conference if you have registered.

With registration you have received instructions on how to activate your Zoom access. BUT ONLY 60 OF THE 140 registered have validated! meaning tomorrow morning will be very busy and many may miss the opening tutorials.

2. The link on Youtube to the Instruction guide stopped working. Here is a new link.

3. We have run out of time to accept your 2 min videos for Monday but those of you

slated for Wednesday can still send them.

4. We are setting up a Bulletin board here on the web site (see menu above “About” – “Bulletin Board”) so you can post things such as job offers and searches, projects that need collaborators, new book offerings, etc.

Please send your announcements to stephen.purcell@univ-lyon1.fr

5. Latest version of the schedule here and there.

 

News 28/06/2021

1. Poster Flashes : The most urgent is to send in the videos of your flash presentations (see below).

One easy method is to have a fixed poster and record a voice audio as you move your curzor over the points you wish to emphasize. There will no time for questions after your flash so you have to hook your audience to come and visit you in the poster session.

2. Orals : There may be those of you who prefer to present a pre-registered ten minute video of your powerpoint accompanied with audio (last year’s format). We can accomodate that. It can avoid hook-up problems of live presentations. Leave 5 minutes for questions!

3. Latest version of the schedule here and there.

4. We plan to communicate the Zoom link near the end of the week to avoid it spreading too much.

We plan for only registered emails to have access.

5. Proceedings are ready for first sending.

 

News 25/06/2021.

First Conference planning has been put out and modified (see above).

We hope you will see that it is packed with great stuff.

Also look in “Program” then “Schedule”.

This is an early version that will probably suffer modifications.

One goal was that no one need to present in the middle of the night.

Very Important !! Following our test run on Zoom the two minute flashes cannot be live !!

(Too difficult to hold the two minute rythm of changing speakers over time).

Participants will have to make 2 minute videos instead and put them on a downloading service for Jean-Paul (and Steve on copy).   jean-paul.mazellier@ihu-strasbourg.eu,  stephen.purcell@unniv-lyon1.fr

We know this is quite late and we apologize for that, but do your best. (And it is only a 2 min presentation).

1. Please communicate with your co-authors about this. Their emails are not on the lists!

2. Please inform us that you will be sending a video so we are expecting it!

3. Please send the video as early as possible so we are not inundated at the last moment!

Advice : It would be a good idea if you all familiarize yourselves with Zoom in the coming week.

Jean-Paul will be providing a succinct manuel soon.

News of the day June 19/06/21.

1. About 90 Extended Abstracts recieved. Bravo to the participants!

This is going to be a very full conference.

2. 9 participants so far for the SGS award. The abstracts are of a very high level!

3. It’s final that Zoom will be used for the conference proceedings and posters (with a final

test run next week with close to conference conditions).

All the best and à bientôt.

ews of the day (June 03/06/2021).

1. Announcing the holding of the SGS award for the IVNC 2021.

Canceled in 2020 because of the COVID, the honour is again up for grabs in 2021.

The announcement is a little late but applying is quite easy.

See the page Shoulders-Gray-Spindt Award in the menu “Abs-Papers-Awards” for further details.

2. Some people are having trouble with the IEEE template.

Depending on the save method the figure number can change even if correct in your own last version.

Please make sure your final version is correct before sending.

 

To those with oral and poster presentations:

Please send your Extended Abstracts in IEEE template form to

http://ivnc2021.univ-lyon1.fr/fr

by June 11th!

+++++++++++++++++++

Success for call for Short abstracts : 107 submitted.

Added to this will be the Plenary, Invited and Tutorial talks.

We can all look forward to a full and nourishing IVNC 2021.

(This good news however means that many demands for orals must be transformed to posters).

First schedule coming soon.

Dear potential IVNC 2021 participants,                                                                                                              

Here’s the latest.             

Short Abstract submission :

Yes we have all been putting it off but now the time is up! Please put the submission of your short abstracts for the IVNC 2021 Virtual Conference on your URGENT LIST.

Official deadline is Friday 23, April in two weeks! The commitee is looking forward to your new and exciting discoveries.

Conference Schedule :

The basis for the conference schedule is the face-to-face conferences but adapted to the impossible time zone problem and your submissions.

As of now we plan to start with the tutorials on Monday the 5th of July, and opening with a plenary on Tuesday the 6th. But this and the length of the conference, and even the session titles, will be adapted as the submissions come in.

As a guide last year we used the reduced session titles : Applications. Emitters. Fundamental studies of and use of electrons in vacuum. Theory. VMDevices.

Special issue JVSTB :

The organizing committee has been invited by the editorial staff of the Journal of Vacuum of Science and Technology B, headed by Professor Eray Aydil, to use the conference as a basis, but not exclusively, for a specal issue on Vacuum Nano Electronics.

The IVNC steering committee has accepted this proposition as an excellent and timely way to promote our society particulary in these trying times and to produce a coherent, one-volume issue of up to date work on electron physics in vacuum that spans the wide range of subjects the conference treats.

More info will be provided on the web site as the conference approachs. Deadlines will be in mid October for full articles. In the first instance this means that we will be encouraging (or strong-arming) you to follow through on your long abstracts for their submission as full peer reviewed articles. In the second we will be looking for interesting articles not submitted to the conference and of varied format.

The big messsage today is to send in those abstracts.

All for now.

Steve Purcell and Jean-Paul Mazellier, April 09, 2021.

Dear potential IVNC2021 participants,

After holding out as long as possible, with great regret we bow to the inevitable and go for a Virtual conference. That’s life. There is just too much doubt whether the raging pandemic will abate soon enough to allow a proper planning of the conference and participants’ travel plans. Even the reserved venue cannot yet be 100 % certain. The Steering Committee was asked their opinion and were unanimous that we hold a virtual version.
Now our aim is to make this a worthwhile, “not to be missed”, virtual meeting on vacuum electron physics and to show the vitality of this internationally implanted subject.
The experience of many virtual conferences will be brought into play to make this a smoother event than last year’s somewhat amateur offering.
The first pillar of IVNC 2021 will be your submissions which we will be encouraging over the coming months. A balance will be sought between students’ and established researchers’ participations as both have professional aims to achieve and certainly a bursting backlog of results to present.
The second pillar is the list of high quality invited speakers and tutorialists that have agreed to present and that will make this a full scientific experience.
There will be some scheduling difficulties to work out with respect to the number of days and number of presentations and of course the unsolvable time zone problem. So keep checking the web site and don’t be afraid to make suggestions.
The inscription process will soon be up and running. We are asking a modest fee of 100€ from permanent researchers and 50€ for students to offset organizational costs. This unfortunately will reduce the number of viewers but will also select those more committed to the subject.
Let us finish by wishing you well in these trying times and that we are looking forward to a participation of many of you in IVNC 2021.

Co-chairmen Stephen Purcell, University Lyon 1, and Jean-Paul Mazellier Thales. February 1st, 2021.
