Deadline for
Late Breaking Abstracts
The Organizing Committee invites you to submit an abstract in the fields of ellipsometry, polarimetry, or other methods that use the polarization properties of light to be considered for oral or poster presentation at the 10th International Conference on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. The Conference will be held June 8-13, 2025, at the University Memorial Center of the University of Colorado at Boulder, CO 80309.
All abstracts, not to exceed 2 pages, are to be submitted using the Abstract Submission System.
Please Submit Your Abstract by the deadlines indicated above.
Conference Registration will be available on the ICSE-10 website soon. Reduced registration fees will be offered for student attendees. Limited Attendance Support co-funding costs for students and early career professionals will be available. Application instructions will be provided soon.
Presentations will be scheduled in oral or poster sessions with dates and times to be assigned. The presenting author must be identified. Presenters need to note their status as Undergraduate, Graduate, Early-Career Academic/Government, Academic, Government, Industry, or other professional upon abstract submission.
Abstracts will be reviewed on receipt, with acceptance notifications sent beginning in November. Please submit early. If necessary for visa applications, please contact the organizers with requests for early decisions. If the presenting author is unable to attend the conference, they should make arrangements for another individual to attend and present.
Abstracts will be included in an Abstract Booklet, which will be published on the conference website.
Abstracts should include work that was accomplished since ICSE-9. This may include recently published as well as new work. Abstracts should contain enough information to allow their content to be evaluated. Please include between 3-6 keywords to help place your abstract within the program. Indicate the presenting author, student author(s) if applicable, and corresponding author if different from the presenting author.
The Program Committee will decide on abstract acceptance as an oral or poster presentation. The Organizing Committee currently anticipates single-track oral sessions and late-afternoon poster sessions. Abstract submissions are currently not limited. But, depending on the number of abstracts received, ICSE-10 may partially move to dual-track sessions. The Program Committee will arrange session schedules to reflect the diverse range of submitting institutions, geographic areas, and scientific topics.
Abstract Preparation Instructions
Abstracts may be prepared and submitted either using LaTeX or Word format. Links to template downloads and instructions for formatting, content inclusion, as well as submission uploads, are provided on the Abstract Submission page.
All completed submissions received by the deadline indicated above will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Selection of abstracts for presentation at ICSE-10 will be based on scientific and technical merit.
Special-Topic Collection on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
Conference manuscripts for ICSE-10 can be submitted to Applied Physics Letters (APL), or Journal of Applied Physics (JAP), or AIP Advances (ADV). Accepted manuscripts will be collated in a joint Special-Topic Collection on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. Articles will undergo regular peer review and will be handled by regular Associate Editors at APL, JAP, and ADV. This Special-Topic Collection is now open and will close in November 2025.
Award Considerations
ICSE-10 is considering the awards described below. Find further information and nomination instructions on the Awards pages.
Paul Drude Award
The Paul Drude Award is traditionally the main recognition at ICSE conferences. This award is given to a young scientist for exceptional contributions to the development or application of spectroscopic ellipsometry.
Hans Mueller Memorial and Lecture Award
The Hans Mueller Memorial and Lecture Award will be established at ICSE-10 to honor pioneering, lifetime achievements in the field of ellipsometry.
Innovation and Creativity Award
The Innovation and Creativity Award will be given, also for the first time at ICSE-10, to recognize the work representing the best innovation and creativity in the field of ellipsometry.
Student Awards
Student Awards, newly featured at ICSE-10, will recognize the students who give the best oral and poster presentations. Students (undergraduate and graduate) must identify their status upon submission of their abstract(s) to participate in the Student Award competitions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Boulder, Colorado, June 8-13, 2025!
