The Surface Science Division (SSD) is soliciting abstracts that describe advances in cutting-edge and foundational research involving surfaces and interfaces, including gas-solid and liquid-solid interactions, emphasizing studies by surface spectroscopies and microscopies. A wide range of topics will be covered from surface chemistry in liquids, to reactions on nanoparticle, alloy, oxide, chalcogenide, and low-dimension materials. We showcase advances in Operando/in-situ methods and on-surface synthesis. We will hold a special session entitled “Rising Stars”, and a Celebration of Gabor Somorjai’s contributions to Surface Science.
Areas of Interest: SS seeks abstracts in the following areas:
- On Surface Synthesis
- Electrical, Magnetic, and Optical Properties
- Dynamics
- Chemical Reactions
- Reduced Dimensional Materials
- Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Photo/Electrochemistry
