Spring 2007
President’s Report
By Neal D. Shinn, AVS 2007 President
AVS 2010
Neither a typographical error nor a calendar
malfunction, AVS Twenty-Ten is a not-so-secret
code word for a Society-wide process underway
this year. Put simply, we are setting objectives
and planning for changes in a time frame which
is sufficiently long enough to achieve our goals
but not so far in the future that a twist in current events would transform great expectations
into irrelevant fantasies. It’s the first step in
positioning the AVS for expanding impact in the
next decade.
You’ve already seen early results. New technical
programming, exhibition events, and schedule
modifications at the International Symposium
and Exhibition (AVS 53, San Francisco 2006)
were experiments—largely successful—to enhance the value for attendees. The Symposium
Steering Committee, chaired by David Castner
(dave_castner@avs.org) is working with John
Russell (2007 Program Chair) and Tom Beebe
(2007 Program Vice-Chair) to implement more
ideas in Seattle this year and beyond. You’ll
hear more about this throughout the year. It’s
exciting to feel the buzz when we gather to
learn, discuss, debate, and build friendships
face to face.

As a largely volunteer organization, the turnover in elected and appointed leaders provides
a continuing infusion of new energy and ideas
yet makes us vulnerable to relearning the forgotten lessons of experience. So as we expand
the opportunities for more members to become
involved in the AVS organization, we will simultaneously improve our succession planning to
ease the learning process and preserve valuable
wisdom gained. The first example of this is the
appointment of Tom Beebe as the 2008 Symposium Program Chair; he’ll hit the ground
running after being the Program Vice-Chair
in 2007.
Other changes underway are aimed at strengthening the AVS network. I am starting monthly conference calls with the Division, Group, and Chapter
Chairs so the technical, regional, and national
components can be better informed, share ideas,
and work together throughout the year.
In addition, I have asked Julia Fulghum
(Julia_fulghum@avs.org) to Chair the Professional Leadership & Outreach Committee. Its
purpose is to create resources and activities that
enable our members to launch, advance, and
maintain rewarding careers, become technical
leaders and mentors, and have impact in the
international community. This integrated approach will engage our Education, Membership
and Student Chapter Committees as well. Many
of these and other topics will be the focus of a
long rage planning retreat this summer, at
which we will develop strategies for AVS 2010
and the vision beyond.
Perhaps the most significant new development
this year is not even within AVS. Fred Dylla, a
long time leader in our Society, becomes the
new Executive Director of the American Institute
of Physics, of which AVS is a Member Society.
We congratulate Fred and look forward to working with him in his new position as we move
forward to AVS 2010.

Remembering an AVS Member
Charles “Chuck” Keith Carniglia
AVS member Chuck Carniglia, died at his home
in Santa Rosa, California on December 21,
2006. Born September 14, 1944, in San Francisco, he met his wife Olivia Anslinger while folk
dancing with the University of Rochester International Folk Dance Performing Group.
A member of Tau Beta Pi and Phi Beta Kappa,
he graduated in 1966, Cum Laude, with his B.S.
in Engineering Mathematics from the University
of California, Berkeley. He did his graduate
studies at the University of Rochester Institute
of Optics and received his Ph.D. in 1971. His
first job was Assistant Professor of Physics at
the University of Maine, Orono.
In 1977, he returned to California to work for
Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc., which later
became JDSUniphase. There he carried out a
high-energy laser coating development program. He was active in developing the theory
of thin film systems and the determination of
optical constants of thin films. From 1985-89,
Carniglia was Manager of the Optical Coating
Laboratory of the Developmental Optics Facility
(DOF) at Kirtland Air Force Base.
From 1989-94, he was the Program Manager &
Chief Scientist of the DOF, where he managed
an optical engineering, fabrication and coating
research and development facility. In 1994, he
again returned to California where he became
the Manager of Advanced Technology Development at Airco Coating Technology, later BOC
Coating Technology.
Throughout Carniglia's career, his forte was
teaching. He taught upper division physics
classes at Sonoma State University and oneday courses for AVS for many years.
In 1987, he founded Thin Film Designer Software, a company that marketed a thin-film
performance computer program still in use
today. Carniglia was elected a Fellow of the
Optical Society of America in 1988. The holder
of five patents and one patent pending, he
published 80 scientific journal articles.
In addition, Chuck was very active in his church
and even taught Sunday School. He was a lifelong fan of the San Francisco 49ers and Giants
and was interested in model trains. In lieu of
flowers, memorial contributions in Chuck's
name may be sent to Memorial Hospice, 821
Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa, CA 95401.

The 67th Annual Physical
Electronics Conference (PEC)
June 19-22, 2007
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Champaign, Illinois
www.physicalelectronics.org
This AVS topical conference will provide a forum for the dissemination and discussion of
new research results in the physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. The conference
will continue to emphasize fundamental science
in materials systems, including metals, semiconductors, insulators and biomaterials. Experimental and theoretical papers on research
performed at exposed (gas-solid), buried (liquid-solid and solid-solid) and hybrid (e.g. semiconductor-biomaterial) interfaces are solicited.
Representative topics include, but are not limited to, electronic, chemical, magnetic, and
structural properties of interfaces; kinetics and
dynamics of physical and chemical transformations at surfaces; formation, modeling, and
properties of nanoscale-mesoscale surface architectures; mechanisms of surface and interface growth and evolution; and energy and
electron transfer processes across materials
interfaces. Properties of structurally and
chemically tailored surfaces are of interest, as
are new methods of measuring these properties and the demonstration of new applications.
The conference will follow its traditional single
session format of 16-minute oral contributed
presentations followed by lively 4-minute discussion periods. The three day format of the
conference limits the total number of speakers
to about sixty. Two plenary talks will be featured at the conference, to be given by Professor Charles Campbell (University of Washington) and Dr. Frances Ross (IBM). Afternoon
poster sessions will complete the program. A
number of social functions are also planned to
encourage informal interactions among the
participants and to take advantage of the rich
traditions and attractions of the UIUC campus.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts for
the conference is Friday, April 20, 2007. Instructions for abstract submission, registration,
and housing may be found on the PEC website
at www.physicalelectronics.org.

Crystal Vacuum Gauge: Crystal vacuum gauges
provide reliable, repeatable and fast response
pressure measurement in broad range from atmospheric pressure to 10-5 Torr (10-9 Torr in
combination type). Crystal gauge measures
electrical impedance of Quartz Crystal Oscillator
varies in response to pressure and does not utilize
unstable thermal phenomenon as used in Parani
gauge. No high current/voltage/ temperature in
vacuum. Therefore, stability is greatly enhanced in
atmospheric pressure range as well as in lower
pressure range.
