Event Description:

The 38th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces
(PCSI-38) will be held at Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego, California from Sunday
afternoon, January 16, through Thursday noon, January 20.

The annual PCSI conference is devoted to achieve 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.

Generous amounts of discussion time will be included in the program in order
to emphasize the workshop character and to stimulate the exchange of new ideas.

Surface/interface issues related to:

• Multiferroic materials
• Graphene
• Energy storage and generation
• Nanostructures for electronics & photonics
• Complex semiconductor heterostructures
• Organic electronics and photonics
• Spintronics & spin transport
• High-k dielectrics on semiconductors
• Nanoscale contacts on semiconductors and oxides
• Epitaxial oxide heterostructures
• Carrier transport and optical properties
• New imaging and spectroscopy tools
• Topological insulators
