DIAMP Workshop

About the Workshop

Tech-X Corporation is hosting a working meeting on computational methods for modeling secondary electron generation, transport, and emission from diamond for electron source and detector applications.

The meeting will be held at Tech-X in Boulder, Colorado from June 14 - 16, 2010.

The workshop will focus on the following themes:

Reviewing what codes, theoretical, and numerical techniques have been used to date for investigation of electron-hole generation, charge transport, and electron emission for diamond.
Discussing approaches to model diamond physics phenomena (band bending, dipole layer, potential barrier at the surface, negative electron affinity, metal contact interface) for for electron emission and detector devices.
Discussing what new and existing experimental data is available.
Developing a plan to validate codes against available data.

We will have presentations by workshop participants on the first two days. The rest of the time will be reserved for discussions.

Because of the limited size of Tech-X facilities, we will need to limit the number of participants, and so attendance will be by invitation only.

For further workshop details, please contact the conference organizers, Dimitre Dimitrov, from Tech-X Corporation, and John Smedley, from Brookhaven National Laboratory.
