MINI-SCHOOL ON VACUUM ARCING
—————————————————-
September 1, 2015 a one day mini-school will be organized to introduce the basics of computational methods applicable for simulation of onset of vacuum arcing.

Location: Physicum, room E207
Time: 1.9.2015 from 9:00 to 15:00

09:00 Basics of Molecular Dynamics simulations
(Prof. Kai Nordlund, University of Helsinki, Finland)
10:30 Coffee break
11:00 Simulation of plastic deformation in FCC structures
(Dr. Yinon Ashkenazy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)
12:30 Lunch break
13:30 Introduction to Collisional PIC Methods for Simulating Vacuum Arcs
(Dr. Matthew Hopkins, Sandia National Laboratories, USA)

If you are interested in vacuum arcing phenomenon and in the computational methods, which can be used to study it, you are welcome to join this minischool.

Doc. Flyura Djurabekova, PhD

University researcher
Department of Physics and Helsinki Institute of Physics
