AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (formerly American Vacuum Society ) is a not-for-profit learned society founded in 1953 focused on disciplines related to materials, interfaces, and processing. AVS has approximately 4500 members worldwide from academia , governmental laboratories and industry .
7-606: AVS is a member society of the American Institute of Physics . AVS publishes through the American Institute of Physics the journals Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (JVST A and B) and Biointerphases , which are devoted to peer-reviewed articles, and Surface Science Spectra (SSS), which publishes peer-reviewed articles with reference spectra of technological and scientific interest. In 2019 American Institute of Physics and AVS launched jointly
14-400: A new journal, AVS Quantum Science . AVS is composed of 10 technical divisions, two technical groups, 16 regional chapters, two international chapters and one international affiliate : AVS Technical Groups Division The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition is AVS's flagship conference. The symposium addresses cutting-edge issues associated with materials, processing, and interfaces in
21-525: A new subsidiary, AIP Publishing LLC , to manage physical publications of its journals with a smaller board. The AIP has a subsidiary called AIP Publishing (wholly owned non-profit) dedicated to scholarly publishing by the AIP and its member societies, as well on behalf of other partners. AIP created a manual of style first introduced in 1951, called AIP style , which also includes the AIP citation format . It
28-647: Is made up of various member societies. Its corporate headquarters are at the American Center for Physics in College Park, Maryland , but the institute also has offices in Melville, New York , and Beijing . The AIP was founded in 1931 as a response to lack of funding for the sciences during the Great Depression . The AIP was founded in 1931 at a joint meeting between four physics societies:
35-780: The American Physical Society , the Optical Society of America , the Acoustical Society of America , and the Society of Rheology . These were soon joined by the American Association of Physics Teachers , for a total of five societies. It formally incorporated in 1932 consisting of five original "member societies", and a total of four thousand members. As soon as the AIP was established it began publishing scientific journals. By 1943,
42-562: The AIP published eight journals: Physical Review , Reviews of Modern Physics , Journal of the Optical Society of America , Journal of the Acoustical Society of America , American Journal of Physics , Review of Scientific Instruments , Journal of Applied Physics , and Journal of Chemical Physics . A new set of member societies was added beginning in the mid-1960s. The organization restructured in 2013, creating
49-623: The research and manufacturing communities. AVS also sponsors a variety of topical conferences, including the International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition and the North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy . American Institute of Physics The American Institute of Physics ( AIP ) promotes science and the profession of physics, publishes physics journals, and produces publications for scientific and engineering societies.
