Forthcoming Institute Conferences
Modelling and Characterisation of Interfaces
| Date: | Fri, 27 June 2008 |
|---|---|
| Venue: | Institute of Physics, London, UK |
| Organised by: | the Electron Microscopy & Analysis group of the Institute of Physics |
Introduction
Interfaces in materials play a crucial role in controlling their properties. Examples of important interfaces range from grain boundaries to heterointerfaces such as oxides on semiconductors. This one-day meeting seeks to bring together researchers engaged in the modelling and characterisation of interfaces. Through a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches, we can hope to gain further understanding of interfaces and their effects.
