International Workshop on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Laser ablation, plasmonic effects and ultra-short laser pulses for chemical analysis
Prof. Gábor Galbács Dept. of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Szeged Spectrochemical Working Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, chairman
Prof. Sándor Szatmári Dept. of Experimental Physics, University of Szeged EFOP consortial research project, supervisor
Prof. Katalin Varjú Dept. of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged ELI-ALPS Research Institute, science director
The organizers warmly welcome all participants to this free, online international laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) workshop! This workshop was originally conceptualized as a one-day meeting, with the support from a consortial research project being conducted at the University of Szeged ( Ultrafast physical processes in atoms, molecules, nanostructures and biological systems, EFOP 3.6.2-16-2017-00005 ), that would facilitate the sharing of new scientific results in the LIBS field and could boost the building of new cooperative projects between research groups operating at the University of Szeged and worldwide. We also have a shiny, new, large laser facility ( Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source, ELI-ALPS ), which has much to offer for the field of LIBS research in terms of ultra-short, tunable, high repetition rate and high intensity laser pulses. Needless to say, that we originally intended to organize a classic workshop, with meeting in person, laboratory visits, fine dining, etc. Unfortunately, due to the covid-19 pandemic we can only have an online event, which format imposes some limitations. Nevertheless, we are thankful for the support of the international participants, illustrious invited scientists chemists, physicists and engineers and we are sure that all participants will have a great time listening to the exciting presentations. We wish everyone excellent health and we hope that this online event, now expanded to two days, will be able to come close to reaching our original, ambitious goals.
