Fourth International Glow Discharge Day: 29th September 2008
Every 2 years, the Glow Discharge (GD) day gathers HORIBA Jobin Yvon Glow Discharge Spectrometry (GDS) users for a one day meeting in a friendly atmosphere with presentations by invited experts, customers and HORIBA Jobin Yvon.
As the number of participants keeps increasing the meeting this year will be organized in a conference hall.
Program
The focus this year will be on Quantification in Glow Discharge Spectrometry (GDS) (bulk and Surface).
The program is also available for offline viewing (PDF format), please click here to download.
