Introduction
All manuscripts must be in English. When receiving the manuscript, we assume that the corresponding authors grant us the copyright to use the manuscript for including in the on-line conference proceedings. Should authors use tables or figures from other publications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant them the right to publish this material in their paper.
Organisation of the Text
Section Headings. The section headings are in boldface capital and lowercase letters. Second level headings are typed as part of the succeeding paragraph (like the subsection heading of this paragraph).
Page Numbers. Do not print page numbers
Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. The caption should be placed below or beside the table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets, for example [meV].  
Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and placed below the figure. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Colour figures are welcome. 
Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented. There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations should be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text as shown below.

c2 = a2 + b2                                                                                                                                  	(1)
Literature References
References are cited in the text by square brackets [1]. Two or more references at a time may be put in one set of brackets [3,4]. The references are to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text and are to be listed at the end of the extended abstract, see example below. 
Conclusion
Please email your manuscript and completed YSA Entry Form to the YSA competition organiser both as a Word document and as a pdf. The email address is given on the application form.
