The International Field Emission Symposia gather scientists from the field emission, nanoscience, atom probe and laser-matter interaction communities. The conference will cover various topics, including fundamental physics, simulation, instrumentation and advanced technological applications :
High Field Physics and Nanoscience:
Field ion emission
Field electron emission
Liquid metal ion sources
Laser-matter interaction
Near field microscopy
Trajectories of charged particles
Ultra-fast related phenomena
Atom probe Tomography:
Instrumentation and related physics
Atom probe specimen preparation
3D data mining
3D image reconstruction
Nano-analysis of Metallic alloys
Analysis of micro-electronic materials
Nanostructured materials nanosciences
The symposia will include plenary sessions with keynote lectures given by international experts, parallel sessions for oral presentations, poster sessions and also workshops for intensive discussions and exchange of ideas.
At each Symposium, an awesome honorific presentation, the J.H. Block Lecture, is given in plenary (in 2025, Daniel Pera from PNNL) and the "E.W. Müller Outstanding Emerging Scientist Award" is given for the best orally-presented paper in a competition. In 2025, this last award went to Jean-Baptiste Maillet from France (GPM UMR6634 / Université de Rouen). Congratulations!
We acknowledge also our new IFES fellows Prof. Gregory Thompson (Alabama University) and Jonathan Hyde (NNL).
The last onsite conference was organized in Chennai, India / IITM (13-18 July 2025). Next conference will take place in Banff / CANADA in 2027( June 6 -11)
