II International Symposium on
high temperature
mass spectrometry

The main purpose of Symposium

is to survey recent advances, undertake stimulating discussions and indicate modern trends and future directions in the field of the High Temperature Mass Spectrometry.

A sample of topics includes:

• Thermodynamic studies of new high temperature inorganic materials (fullerenes, oxide systems, alloys, rare-earth element compounds, superionic conductors and other).
• Studies related to determination of thermodynamic properties of individual compounds (the ionization potential, electron affinity and ionization cross-section measurements; molecular structure and chemical bonding; calculation of thermodynamic functions etc.)
• Kinetic studies of the ionic and molecular sublimation in the free evaporation mode.
• New experimental techniques and data treatment approaches.

The subjects of Symposium may be extended by the Organizing Committee upon the consideration of the abstracts submitted.

Time and location:

7-10 July 2003, Hotel “Rus' ”, Plyos, Russia.

Contributions

The Symposium program will include oral presentations and poster sessions. The official languages of the Symposium will be Russian and English.
