CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
The Proceedings of REI-2005 will be published in a special volume of NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms (NIM-B). Editors: H. Andersen, L. E. Rehn, C. Trautmann.
The following is the link to NIM-B which is published by Elsevier:

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
All participants in REI-2005, both oral and poster presentations, are expected to prepare a manuscript for publication in this special volume of NIM-B. Contributed papers will be limited to 5 journal-length pages. Invited papers can be up to 8 journal-length pages. These manuscripts will be due at the beginning of the REI-2005 conference.
Your manuscript must be a clear representation of the work you present at REI-2005, and should not represent work that has been been copyrighted or published, nor submitted for publication elsewhere.
General
The conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of NIM B (Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B) after a regular refereeing procedure. The guest editors of the REI issue are Dr. K. E. Sickafus, Dr. W. J. Weber and Dr. J. C. Barbour.
To ensure as rapid publication of the manuscripts as possible, the manuscripts are strictly due on Monday, August 29 at 5 PM, and will be refereed during and soon after the conference. Manuscripts will not be accepted after the conference.
The manuscripts should be prepared in strict adherence to the NIM B author instructions and submitted in three paper copies to the manuscript desk by August 29. Electronic versions will be requested by the guest editors after the manuscript has been refereed.
Color figures can be included as "color online", but if you wish to do this please check that the figure prints well in greyscale as well. An extra charge to be paid by the authors applies if you wish to have color figures in the paper copy of the proceedings; if interested inquire about the pricing from the Chairman.
Please mark a contact email address and fax number as a footnote on the first page of the manuscript or on a separate cover sheet.
Length limits
Papers should be prepared such that their final length in the final (2-column) NIM B format is 5 pages (8 pages for invited papers). Note that the NIMB format changed a few years ago, and that 1 NIM B page is clearly less than e.g. 1 paper in the Physical Review format. Papers longer than these limits may be asked to be shortened, or rejected.
You can use one of the following methods to estimate the length of your manuscript.
Method I, page count
Total number of manuscript pages, typed with double line spacing = A
Number of one-column tables =I
Number of figure panels (=J)
=> Estimated number of printed pages: 0.4A+0.25(I+J)
Method II, word count
Total number of words, in the whole document =N
Number of figure panels =J
=> Estimated number of printed pages: N/550+0.25 J
Advice on paper preparation
We encourage people to prepare their paper in the Elsevier Latex format (however, MS Word is also acceptable; see http://authors.elsevier.com/GuideToOnlineSubmission.html?dc=GTOS)
• elsart Latex2E class file
• elsart Bibtex .bst file

SI Units
Authors must use the SI-system for units and nomenclature. Prefixes and abbreviations must be correct (i.e., keV, not KeV; cm, not cms). Authors are reminded that dose refers to an absorbed (deposited) energy density (energy per mass) and should be use where appropriate. Otherwise, the term fluence should be used for the number of particles per unit area (ions/cm2), and flux for the number of particles per unit area per second.
References
References should be in the following format:
[1] V.I. Shulga, P. Sigmund, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 47 (1990) 236.
[2] H.H. Andersen, H.L. Bay, in: R. Behrisch (Ed.), Sputtering by Ion Bombardment I, Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1977, p. 104.

In case of multiple authorship, all authors should be listed in the references. Only in case of more than ten authors is it acceptable to list the first author 'et al.'
Refer to these references in the manuscript using this format: [1], [2,3], [4-6] etc.
