Illuminating to New Depths: our Understanding of Surface Phenomena
Sunday, June 17, 2007 (full day workshop)
Description: Our understanding of surface phenomena is growing and has been extending beyond the traditional methods and materials. This workshop will explore biomaterials on surfaces, the surface of nanomaterials, atomic scale resolution of molecules on surfaces, and near surface electronic structure of materials. This workshop highlights the importance of synchrotron sources and the meticulousness of surface science in our understanding of structure and reactions at surfaces.
