Gaseous Electronics Conference

61st Annual Gaseous Electronics
Conference October 13-17, 2008

The Sixty First Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) will be held Oct 13-17, 2008 at the Marriott Dallas/Addison Quorum by the Galleria in Dallas, Texas. The GEC has been in the Dallas area only once before. The 35th GEC was hosted by UT Dallas in 1982.

The GEC Executive Committee invites the submission of abstracts.  Topics include: basic phenomena and plasma processes in partially ionized gases; and the theory and measurement of basic atomic and molecular collision processes. Papers reporting on experimental, theoretical, and computational studies that address either fundamental properties of low-temperature plasmas or their applications are encouraged.

Applications of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Plasma processing of materials including semiconductors
  • metals, insulators, MEMS devices and displays
  • Biological and emerging applications of plasmas
  • Plasma-surface interactions, Plasma diagnostics
  • High pressure and micro-plasmas
  • Gas discharge lamps, Gas laser
  • Plasma chemistry and combustion
  • Plasma aerodynamics
  • Ionospheric phenomena, Ion sources
  • Electron and photon collisions with atoms and molecules
  • Heavy particle interactions: ion-atom, ion-molecule, neutral-neutral
  • The GEC has a long and distinguished history. The GEC was started as the Gas Discharge Conference in 1948 as an offshoot of The Nottingham Conferences. Such famous scientists as W. Allis, S. Brown, D. Alpert and others organized this first conference at Brookhaven National Laboratory.  I. Langmuir also attended various GECs and presented.
