The 2012 NCCAVS Joint User Group Meeting on "Technology for Clean Energy", to be held in conjunction with the 33rd NCCAVS Vacuum Equipment Exhibition and Second Annual Student Poster Session, will focus on the new materials, processes and devices needed for implementation of Clean Energy technologies. These technologies include the following:
- Photovoltaic and other innovative power generation methods
- New energy storage systems, such as battery and fuel cell technologies
- Intelligent power controllers for electrical power distribution on the grid, local, industrial and residential scales
- Solid-state lighting, such as high-brightness LED and OLED
- Multiple forms of electric powered vehicles
Discussions will include development of technologies to increase the efficiency of electrical power generation, transport and local distribution, as well as related considerations such as water use. Solid-state lighting technology development, such as luminaire cost reduction and efficacy improvement in LED and OLED, will also be a major focus of this symposium.
Speakers will be invited and contributed talks are also encouraged from academia, government labs, OEMs, end-users and materials suppliers.
Abstract Submission
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: January 2, 2012
Prospective authors are invited to submit one-page abstract on recent unpublished results in the focus areas listed. Up to two support pages of additional information may also be submitted to aid in the abstract selection. A short bio of the first author would be appreciated.
Abstracts may be submitted directly by email to the Symposium Chair, Sing-Pin Tay, sing-pin.tay@mattson.com. or Heather Korff, AVS Events/Office Coordinator, heather@avs.org.
The abstract, with authors' names and institutions, may include figures. Abstracts must provide a concise description of the work, the novelty of the results, and their relevance for advancing our understanding of the technology for Clean Energy. The Program Committee may select up to ten abstracts including invited talks.
