Call for papers for special issue of NIM B 

The manuscript in the following themes of the conference will be considered  for the special issue titled "Proceedings of the “International Conference on Ion Beams in Materials Engineering and Characterizaion” IBMEC -2024" for Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms (NIM B) after the regular peer review process:  

• Basic processes: energy loss and straggling

• Materials modifications in nanoparticles, thin films and multilayers

• Modification of materials (optical, electronic, electrical, magnetic and other properties)

• Ion beam in energy materials

• Surface structuring and patterning

• Ion beam-induced epitaxial crystallization (IBIEC)

• Interface mixing and electronic sputtering

• Radiation-induced modifications in biological systems

• On-line/ in-situ measurements (ERDA, IL, QMA, XRD etc.)

• Simulation studies for irradiation-induced effects

The guide to authors and journal scope to prepare the manuscript can be found on the website:
