Papers from the 45th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces

This collection includes papers from the 45th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces, held in Kona, HI from January 14-18, 2018. The annual PCSI conference is devoted to fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, structural, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. These studies include novel growth processes and interfacial phenomena, new characterization tools, transport, and functionality of the structures for future devices. The Conference Chair was Chris Palmstrøm (UC Santa Barbara), and the Program Chair was Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin (The Ohio State University).
