Physical Electronics Conference 2007
The Physical Electronics Conference 2007
Topical Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces
and Interfaces
67th Annual Meeting
June 19-22, 2007
The 67th Annual Physical Electronics Conference, including the
prestigious Nottingham Prize Competition for
best presentation based on doctoral research, will be held at the Frederick
Seitz Materials Research Laboratory on the University of Illinois campus,
Urbana, Illinois. 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; and
energy and electron transfer processes across materials interfaces. 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 oral contributions to about sixty. Additional contributions
are included in poster sessions. An award of $250 will be given to
the best student poster. Apart from the Nottingham contestants, a
one-page abstract is the sole written contribution required of contributors.
A vendor exhibit will be held during the conference.
NEW - Poster awards: This year the Physical Electronics Conference will be awarding prizes for the best posters. Each poster will be judged on the quality of the technical content combined with the clarity of the presentation. Cash prizes will be awarded for 1st ($250), 2nd ($150), and 3rd ($100) place at the banquet on Thursday evening, June 21.
We look forward to seeing some great posters at this year's meeting!
