1 The Field and The ICREM

Energetic particle beams are of paramount importance in nature, as well as in modern day science and industry. For example, while studying material properties, one directs an appropriate beam of particles into a material and collects the interaction data. Moreover, modifications of materials with particles beams—also known in literature as radiation effects—are extremely many fold, both natural and manmade. Thus, it may be very interesting to look at the radiation and emission phenomena in its natural combination, in the range from accelerated ionizing particles to electromagnetic radiation, building on the similarity of the basic principles and multi‐functional applications.

Meanwhile, organizing a conference having a broad scope is challenging; indeed, on the one hand the cross‐disciplinarily creates a massive potential for synergy effects; however, on the other hand there is a risk of defocusing and losing the grounds of the professional discussions. Indeed, even though there are many examples of new international conferences emerging around the globe and trying to capitalize on the generic approaches, the success stories are rare. However, the strength of International Conference on Radiation and Emission in Materials (ICREM) is in interconnecting specific sub‐fields of the radiation and emission, as such appearing paradoxically focused and generic at the same time.

The ICREM has shown its initial success; indeed, started in 2018 as an annual event, already its 2nd edition in 2019 (http://icrem2019.science.cmu.ac.th/) resulted in a strong collection of papers comprising the present pss(a) Special Issue. Fronted by the International Advisory Board, the ICREM attracts attendees from all around the world. For instance, the ICREM2019 attracted >150 participants. One of the ICREM assets is its creative atmosphere reached by mixing reputable experts with enthusiastic younger generation researchers and students, gaining inspirations for long‐term developments. The practicalities with the ICREM organization are transparent and attractive. Indeed, the ICREM teams with the world‐renowned Thai hospitality and climate; there is a dedicated crew providing excellent local organization for the ICREM, in particular featured by low fees; the ICREM is predictable by keeping its regular base in Thailand, also benefiting from a variety of accessible university locations at different parts of Thailand. At this end, the driving force behind the ICREM is to enhance the professional development in the field of the radiation and emission in materials.

材料的辐射与发射：原理与多功能应用的相似性

1领域与ICREM

高能粒子束在自然界以及现代科学和工业中都至关重要。例如，在研究材料特性时，将适当的粒子束引导到材料中并收集相互作用数据。此外，用粒子束对材料进行改性（在文献中也称为辐射效应）是自然的和人造的很多倍。因此，以基本原理和多功能应用的相似性为基础，从加速电离粒子到电磁辐射的自然组合中观察辐射和发射现象可能会非常有趣。

同时，组织范围广泛的会议具有挑战性。实际上，一方面，跨学科领域创造了巨大的协同效应潜力；但是，另一方面，存在散焦和失去专业讨论基础的风险。的确，即使有许多新的国际会议在全球范围内涌现并试图利用通用方法的例子，成功的故事还是很少的。但是，国际材料辐射与发射会议（ICREM）的优势在于将辐射和发射的特定子领域相互联系起来，因为这些领域同时显得矛盾而集中。

ICREM已显示出最初的成功；的确，该活动于2018年开始作为年度活动，已经在2019年举行了第二届会议（http://icrem2019.science.cmu.ac.th/），导致大量的论文汇编成本pss（a）特刊。ICREM在国际咨询委员会的领导下吸引了来自世界各地的与会者。例如，ICREM2019吸引了超过150名参与者。ICREM的资产之一是其创新的氛围，是将著名的专家与热情的年轻研究人员和学生融合在一起，从而获得长期发展的灵感。ICREM组织的实践是透明且有吸引力的。确实，ICEREM团队与享誉世界的泰国热情好客和气候环境紧密合作。有专门的工作人员为ICREM提供出色的本地组织，费用低廉的特点；ICREM可以通过保持其在泰国的常规基地来预测，而且还得益于泰国不同地区各种便利的大学位置。为此，ICEREM的推动力是促进材料辐射和发射领域的专业发展。
