Manuscript Preparation Instructions

---

The EES Manuscript submission for REI-15 is open and the deadline for submission is Oct. 9, 2009.

---

The manuscripts should be prepared following the NIM-B author instructions and submitted exclusively in electronic form by Oct. 9, 2009.

Here is a brief summary of the Style and Format instructions:

Word Processor: Microsoft Word or LaTeX typesetted manuscripts are acceptable. LaTeX users please refer to the Elsevier Formatting in LaTeX instructions

Language and layout: Manuscripts should be written in good English. They should be typed throughout with double line-spacing and wide margins on numbered, single-column pages.

Maximum length of the printed paper: Invited papers max. 8 printed pages, Contributed papers max. 4 printed pages. The authors should aim for their papers essentially not filling less than 3 pages.

Type	Min NIMB printed pages	Max NIMB printed pages
Contributed (Oral or Poster)	3	4
Invited	3	8

Authors are requested to estimate the length of their paper in print according to the following rules:

Type	Characters (incl. spacings)	Words
1 NIMB Page (title, abstract, text, references and captions)	8500	1410
1-Column Figure or Table	1300	230
2-Column Figure or Table	5000	850

Manuscript structure: please adhere to the following order:

• article title
• author(s)
• affiliations
• abstract
• PACS codes and keywords
• main text
• acknowledgements
• appendices
• references
• figure captions
• tables
• figures

Corresponding author: the name, full postal address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page.

PACS codes/keywords: please supply one or more relevant PACS classification codes and up to 6 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes.

References: references to other publications should be numbered consecutively within square brackets in the order in which they appear in the manuscript, and listed together at the end of the text, as shown in the following examples:

[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.
[3] J.F. Ziegler, J.P. Biersack, U. Littmark, The Stopping and Range of Ions in Solids, Pergamon, New York, 1985.
[4] S.B. Trubin, Investigation of Radiation Gas Evolution from Polyethylene, Dissertation, Sverdlovsk, 1981 (in Russian).

The authors may opt also to give the full titles of papers published in journals. In case, that must be for all journal papers listed.
In case of multiple authorship, all authors should be listed in the references. Only in case of more than 10 authors is it acceptable to list the first author 'et al.'

Nomenclature and units: Authors are required to use the SI system for units and nomenclature.
Comment: Subunits like mm, GW etc. are of course allowed, as is cm. A few non-SI units like eV and Å are so engrained that use may continue. Prefixes and abbreviations must be correct, i.e. keV, not KeV, cm, not cms, μg, not mkg, etc. Finally, dose may only be used where appropriate i.e. for absorbed (deposited) energy density. Otherwise fluence should be used. Note that the dimension of dose is energy/mass (J/kg or Gray, Gr) while the dimension of fluence is particles/area (most often cm^-2).
