The 66th Annual Physical Electronics Conference, including
the prestigious Nottingham Prize Competition for best presentation based on
doctoral research, will be held on the Princeton University campus in
Princeton, NJ on June 18-21, 2006. This topical conference will provide a
forum for the dissemination and discussion of new research results in the
physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. The conference will
continue to emphasize fundamental science in materials systems, including
metals, semiconductors, insulators and biomaterials. Experimental and
theoretical talks on research performed at exposed (gas-solid), buried
(liquid-solid and solid-solid) and hybrid (e.g., semiconductor-biomaterial)
interfaces are solicited. Representative topics include electronic, chemical,
magnetic, and structural properties of interfaces; kinetics and dynamics of
physical and chemical transformations at surfaces; formation, modeling, and
properties of nanoscale-mesoscale surface architectures, biological
interactions with surfaces, mechanisms of
surface and interface growth and evolution; energy and electron transfer processes
across materials surfaces. Properties of structurally and chemically tailored
surfaces are of interest, as are new methods of measuring these properties
and the demonstration of new applications. The conference will include invited, Nottingham, and contributed fifteen-minute oral presentations in a single session format with lively discussions. The three-day format of the conference limits the total number of contributions to about sixty. Apart from the Nottingham contestants, a one-page abstract is the sole written contribution required of contributors. |
