The international conference on surface modification of materials by ion beams (SMMIB) is a recognized conference related to ion beam applications. The first conference was started in 1975 in England. The recent SMMIB conferences were held in USA (1997), Beijing (1999), Germany (2001), USA (2003), Turkey (2005), India (2007), Japan (2009). The next SMMIB conference will be held in Harbin, China (2011). The aim of the conference is to bring together physicists, chemists, professors, and engineers from academic institutes and industries interested in both fundamental and applied applications using ion beams and related techniques. Almost all the solid materials have been processed by ion beams, and new phenomena, new physics and new applications appear continuously. Emerging research areas have been extended to biomaterials, new energy materials, environment-friendly materials, etc. The topics of SMMIB2011 include new phenomena and mechanism induced by ion beams, new hardware and hard source for bombardment effect induced by plasma or ion beam, materials processing using ion and plasma beam, techniques and equipments related to SMMIB, bio-medical and industrial applications of SMMIB, properties and structures characterization, modeling, simulation and theory related to SMMIB, high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HPPMS), new functional coatings including DLC, hard coatings, etc. , other topics concerning with SMMIB and related fields.
