Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces
This Special Topic Collection is devoted to achieving a fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. These studies include novel growth processes and interfacial phenomena, new characterization tools, transport, and functionality of the structures for future devices. Normally, this Special Collection would comprise papers presented at the Annual Conference on Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI). The next PCSI meeting will be held in 2022. JVST B is hosting this 2021 Special Topic Collection of articles to facilitate the timely dissemination of research in this area.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Atomically Precise Deposition and Etching Methods
- Characterization of interfaces, transport, and optical properties: in situ and in operando
- Defects as Devices (e.g. Quantum Emitters)
- Electronically Reconfigurable Metasurfaces
- Epitaxial Growth Mechanisms
- Magnetism and Spin Transport in Reduced Dimensions, Multiferroics
- Materials for Neuromorphic Computing
- Materials for Quantum Technologies
- Nanoscale Contacts on Semiconductors and Oxides
- Novel Couplings Across 2D and Mixed-Dimensional Interfaces
- OD, 1D, and 2D Materials for Electronics and Photonics
- Organic and Hybrid Electronics
- Semiconductor and Dielectric Heterostructures
- Surface and Interfaces in Energy Storage and Generation
- Topological Materials
