Division: Surface Science (SS)

The Surface Science Division (SSD) provides a forum for cutting-edge and foundational research that involves solid surfaces and interfaces including gas-solid and liquid-solid interactions. We aim to understand the wide range of processes, which play out on surfaces and at interfaces. This knowledge is critical to improve catalysts, find ways to limit corrosion, and even peek into the chemical processes at planetary surfaces. Surface science has close ties with other divisions such as heterogeneous catalysis, and the focus topics on quantum information and science, and 2D materials. These close relations are seen in the program and encourage participants to explore science outside of their immediate sphere of interest. This year’s sessions extend from surface chemistries ranging from liquid to astronomical environments, materials ranging from dilute metal alloys to oxides, and structures ranging from zero-dimensional nanoparticles to two-dimensional layered materials, and understanding surfaces in complex environments which promote understanding under “real-life conditions,” which are now feasible owing to advances in measurement techniques. We will host the Morton M. Traum Award to honor research presented by students in the SSD.
