The American Vacuum Society (AVS) is a not-for-profit professional society that promotes communication between academia, government laboratories, and industry for the purpose of sharing research and development findings over a broad range of technologically relevant topics. Our symposia and journals provide an important forum for the dissemination of information in many areas of science and technology-enabling a critical gateway for the rapid insertion of scientific breakthroughs into manufacturing realities.
AVS promotes communication through its major annual symposium and numerous topical conferences throughout the year. AVS also publishes through the American Institute of Physics (AIP) the prestigious
Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (JVST A and B), which is devoted to reports of original research and review articles, and
Surface Science Spectra (SSS), which is devoted to archiving spectra of technological and scientific interest. Technical short courses and educational materials such as videotapes and monographs are also produced.
