Interface and Surface Science Laboratory
About the Lab
Welcome to the Interface and Surface Science Laboratory!
Surface science is the study of solid-solid, solid-gas, or solid-liquid interfaces. Our group mainly utilizes ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface science techniques to investigate atomic-structures, electronic, and chemical properties of material鈥檚 interfaces. Surface science has implications for such diverse fields as: Self assembled monolayers, physical properties of nanostructures, microelectronic devices, and heterogeneous catalysis. In many cases it provides the scientific foundation for technological processes and devices.
