INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON METALLURGICAL COATINGS AND THIN FILMS (ICMCTF)

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) is internationally recognized as the premier international conference focused on thin-film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering. It brings together scientists, engineers, and technologists from academia, government laboratories, and industry, thereby merging cutting-edge research with real-world applications. The conference consistently draws more than 700 attendees each year within 37 oral technical sessions and a well-attended poster session.
It took part in San Diego from April 20th-24th, 2015. Postdoc Dr. Ante Hecimovic (Experimental Physics II) gave a presentation entitled "Plasma oscillations and ion transport in DC and HiPIMS magnetron discharges". He was also a session chair on a topical symposia "Plasma diagnostic and modelling". At the end, he has organised a round table disccusion on "Plasma diagnostic and modelling techniques for improved understanding of deposition process".
Prof. Dr. Peter Awakowicz and his PhD student Stefan Ries participated at ICMCTF as well.
