The symposium will be held with topics encompassing various areas of novel materials processing by advanced electromagnetic energy sources. The topics will include development and application of advanced electromagnetic energy sources such as microwave/millmeter-wave radiation, ultrafine particle beam, cluster ion beam, pulsed intense current/voltage sources, novel plasma and ion sources, advanced laser sources and so on. The aim of the symposium is to present the recent progress in materials processing by these energy sources and the worldwide participants concerned with energy sources, materials processing, materials science and engineering, applied physics, chemistry and other related fields are invited to join us to establish new and unique industrial fields based on the advanced electromagnetic energy processing of materials.
