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. This collection will include papers presented at the 48th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-48) as well as other articles on the topic that were not presented at the conference. PCSI-48 was held in Redondo Beach, California, USA, from January 15-19, 2023.
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
