Programme leader was an invited speaker at 6th International Conference on Plasma Science and Applications. He presented various aspects of application of neutral reactive atoms for tailoring surface properties of advanced materials such as materials for wound dressings, cardiovascular implants, biological cells and tissues as well as advanced nanomaterials with rich morphology.

COBISS.SI-ID: 27310375International Vacuum Congress - IVC-19 together with six joined conferences took place in Paris, France from September 9 to 13, 2013. About 2500 participants from 65 countries took part of this large event. The IVC-19 congress was co-organized also by Slovenian society for vacuum techniques – DVTS. Janez Kovač from our program group was a member of the International organizing committee of this congress and Miran Mozetič, Alenka Vesel and Miha Čekada were members of International scientific committees for different topics of the congress. Co-organization of the IVC 19 congress strongly promoted our program group and Slovenian researchers in the field of vacuum science and techniques.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
The programme leader gave lectures at the fourth largest American university. He gave introduction to non-equilibrium gaseous plasma and emhasized methods for achievement extremely non-equilibrium oxygen plasma. Such plasma is suitable for treatment of various organic materials from composites used in electronic industry to biological cells and tissues. He also presented his recent patents granted worldwide from USA to Japan.

COBISS.SI-ID: 26571815Using a simulation, developed for the industrial sputtering apparatus CC800/9, we studied the influence of rotation and target arrangement on the structure of the multilayer coatings. The results showed that very periodic rotation modes (which depends on the gear ratio in the turntable) cause large inhomogeneity, both in thickness as in chemical composition of the multilayer coatings. Less periodic rotation modes improve the coating uniformity, though in certain rotation parameters large differences in uniformity may appear. These simulations are a useful tool for designing new PVD systems. Our simulation attracted considerable interest both from the academia as from the industry, and enabled the signature of a contract with one of the major producers of PVD systems from Germany. This was also the topic of an invited talk our program group member Dr Matjaž Panjan had at the annual Society of Vacuum Coaters meeting in Providence, USA.
