Publisher's Synopsis
IBMM '90 was the seventh in a series of biennial International Conferences on ion beam processing of materials. The 213 papers in this two-volume set discuss experimental and theoretical work involving beam interactions with a wide range of materials, including semiconductors, metals, ceramics, insulators and polymers. Also included are papers on ion-enhanced deposition, tribology, beam-induced crystallization and amorphization, and recent developments in equipment design and experimental techniques. The quality and scope of the contributions demonstrate the growing importance and activity in the field of ion beam processing, as well as indicating new directions for ion beam processing and analysis.
