The Scientific International Symposium on SIMS and Related Techniques Based on Ion-Solid Interactions (SISS). SISS initially stood for “Seikei University, the International Symposium on SIMS and related techniques based on ion-solid interactions”. Scope: SISS covers SIMS and related techniques based on ion-solid interactions: fundamentals, instrumentation, and application in various fields, such as semiconductors, industrial materials, biological, medical, and environmental sciences. We mainly have three sessions: Atom Probe, D-SIMS, and TOF-SIMS.

SISS-25 (18-19 June, 2026@Tokyo)

SISS-25 at Seikei University (On-Site Event)

The 25th Scientific International Symposium on SIMS and Related Techniques Based on Ion-Solid Interactions (SISS-25) will be held June 18 (Thu) – 19 (Fri), 2026, at Seikei University in Tokyo, Japan.

SISS-25 covers the latest studies in SIMS, laser SNMS, atom probe tomography (APT), mass spectrometry (MS) and ion beams.

* SISS supports the presentations of young scientists and runs a travel support.
