Venue. The Meeting will be held in the small village of Fodele on the island of Crete during September 7 - 11, 2008. This is the second of a series of meetings aimed at gathering specialists in the field of radiation effects and related areas of expertise. Our wish is that these inspiring surroundings will provide the framework for intense scientific exchange in formal and informal discussions on recent advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of the effects of radiation in matter. We will convene in the 4*
Fodele Beach Hotel (see http://www.fodelebeach.gr)
which
is situated about 25km west of Heraklion city the capital of Crete and
the International Airport. Fodele itself is the birth place of the
famous El-Greco (the Greek painter Theotokopoulos). The hotel is right
on the beach and offers attractive and affordable accommodation.

Aims
and Scope.
The meeting is intended to
deal with current studies, new ideas and developments on the role of
radiation in the synthesis, analysis and modification of new materials.
And also to promote the exchange of ideas with other areas of
expertise, studies on growth, characterization and properties of new
materials- of carbonaceous materials such as fullerite and carbon
nanotubes, other quasi one dimensional solids (e.g. nanorods) for
example, and nanostructured materials generally, including
nanocrystals. The topics include, but are not limited to:
Radiation effects in insulators; impact induced surface topography; sputtering; radiation-induced transport phenomena; the role of defects and impurities introduced by radiation; fission tracks, applications of ion irradiation and ion tracks; growth of carbon and boron nitride nanotubes; ion and electron-positron channelling phenomena; ion bombardment of polymers and applications; non-linear effects in cluster stopping; novel applications of etched ion tracks; radiation effects on the growth and nucleation of nanostructures; total current spectroscopy, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
