26th International Workshop on Inelastic Ion-Surface Collisions (IISC-26)
13-18 June 2027, Marholmen, Sweden

We are happy to welcome you to the 26th International Workshop on Inelastic Ion Surface Collisions (IISC-26) in Sweden. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at: iisc2027@uu.se
The IISC covers the fundamental aspects of inelastic interactions of particles with surfaces. It includes the following topics:
- Energy loss of particles at surfaces
- Charge exchange between particles and surfaces
- Electron, photon and secondary ion emission due to particle impact on surfaces
- Ion induced desorption, electronic and kinetic sputtering
- Defect formation, surface modification and nanostructuring
- Laser induced desorption
- Plasma-wall interactions
- Scattering of atoms, ions, molecules and clusters
- Sputtering, fragmentation, cluster and ion formation in SIMS and SNMS
- Cluster/Molecular and highly charged ion beams
- Electronic damage in 2D materials, soft matter and biological systems
