Open Access Science Online

Welcome to the 2011 Collaborative Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (CCMBE 2011),  taking place on December 5-9 at the Majesty Of The Seas Cruise Ship sailing from Miami Florida. This conference showcases recent results from both fundamental and applied research in all types of materials growth using the MBE technique. It consists of oral and poster sessions. Oral presentations are invited only.

The cruise accommodation is adopted for CCMBE and goes beyond a typical hotel setting, in an effort to foster intensive discussions beyond the conference room and around dinning tables and shore excursions.

The CCMBE 2011 will not only be a time to enjoy the company of fellow researchers in the field, but also a time to have fun with friends and family! Miami, Bahamas, and Key West afford an individual with many opportunities for leisure. We encourage you to give yourself some time for recreational pursuits!
