Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces

This collection includes papers presented at the 48th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-48) as well as other articles on the topic that were not presented at the conference. PCSI-48 was held in Redondo Beach, California, USA, from January 15–19, 2023. The annual PCSI conference is devoted to achieving a 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.
