The IVNC series is devoted to the science and technology of micro and nanodevices that harness vacuum and high electric field phenomena. The first IVNC was held in Williamsburg, VA in 1988 and was chaired by C. A. Spindt (SRI) and H. F. Gray (NRL). Initially focused on field emission, displays and power tubes, IVNC first evolved into the pre-eminent conference series in the world on electron sources and their applications to then expand to encompass fundamentals, fabrication, and applications of other vacuum and high electric field phenomena such as plasmas, liquid ionization, gas ionization, X-rays, mass spectrometry, space propulsion, vacuum quantum systems, and harsh electronics. IVNC alternates between Asia, Europe and North America and has close to equal participations from these continents.
Since its inception, the IVNC series has provided researchers with a forum for discussing the latest research results and promoting progress towards commercialization. For 2024, we will continue the tradition of hosting single-session oral and poster sessions and social activities, offering ample opportunity for interaction and networking. We look forward to seeing you in Brno next summer!
