The VIII-th Symposium on Surface Physics (SSP8) to be held in Trest Castle
follows previous
international surface science meetings:
Smolenice Castle (1971 and 1984), Bechyne Castle (1980 and 1987), Chlum Castle (1990 and
1993) and Trest Castle (1996).
The size, form and scope of the symposium should be similar to those of previous meetings, with around 20 invited speakers and up to 100 participants.
The symposium will emphasize crystallographic and electron structure aspects of surface physics. The program will consist of invited lectures (45 minutes) and of contributed communications presented orally (15 minutes) and as posters.
The Symposium will take place at the Trest
Castle, Czech
Republic, 150 km east of Praha, near Jihlava. The Symposium lectures
start by the opening address on Monday, June 28, 1999. The symposium ends
on Friday afternoon, July 2.
Invited lectures will be published in a special issue of the Progress in Surface Science and selected contributed papers in a special issue of the Czechoslovak
Journal of Physics.
The abstracts of all contributions have to reach the organizers before March 1. They are to be prepared in TeX typesetting system (preferably LaTeX) in the following format:
Title: IN CAPITALS
Author names and affiliations with addresses (presenting author name underlined)
Text: within 15 lines (65 characters per line)
In addition, the abstract should be submitted also by e-mail to the address: ssp8@fzu.cz
Separately, preference for oral or poster presentation can be enclosed.
The acceptance of contributions and their incorporation into the oral or the poster session will be announced in March.
Full texts of the manuscripts submitted for publication will have to be delivered no latter than on the first day of symposium. Instructions for their preparation will be mailed to authors of accepted abstracts with the third symposium announcement.
