In view of the ever-growing interest in the preceding PSE conferences with more than 600 participants from Europe and overseas, this biennial conference is a well-established and important forum in the field of plasma and ion-/particle-beam-assisted surface and thin film technology. It is the aim of the PSE conferences to provide an opportunity for the presentation of recent progress in research, development and applications of plasma and ion-/particle-beam surface modification and engineering, and of plasma and ion-/particle-beam-assisted deposition of coatings and thin films. The presentations will help clarify the relationships between the process parameters, the structural properties and the functional properties of the modified surface coatings and the thin films, so as to bridge the gap between those involved in basic research and those who have to meet the rapidly increasing demands of industrial applications.
