Scope and HistoryScopeThe Eighth International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure
provided a broad forum for discussing experimental and theoretical aspects
of laboratory- and synchrotron-radiation-based electron spectroscopy, electron-
and ion-beam-excited electron spectroscopy, x-ray absorption and x-ray emission
spectroscopy, various forms of spectromicroscopy and microspectroscopy, and
related phenomena dealing with electronic structure and dynamics, as well as
their applications to surface, interface, materials, and industrial analysis. The conference
title was changed to enlarge its scope so as to cover complementary spectroscopies
such as x-ray fluorescence and near-edge x-ray absorption that are now often
used in conjunction with the various electron spectroscopies. Of particular
interest for the program were new developments leading to higher energy, spatial,
and temporal resolutions, as well as explorations of novel materials properties
and more accurate theoretical descriptions of phenomena. The scientific program
included invited talks and contributed oral and poster presentations. The
conference proceedings will be published as a special issue of the Journal of
Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena. Previous ICESS Conferences and Chairpersons
