Papers from the 14th International Symposium on Atomic Level Characterizations for New Materials and Devices (ALC '22)

This is a collection of papers presented at the 14th International Symposium on Atomic Level Characterizations for New Materials and Devices (ALC '22). The conference was held from October 16–21, 2022 in Okinawa, Japan. The symposium focuses on practical applications of atomic level characterization (both atomic dimensions and energy levels) of new materials and devices, including bio- and organic materials as well as inorganics. The goal is to promote stimulating discussions among researchers specializing in different probe methods. The symposium also encourages discussion of fundamental problems to be solved in the further development of atomic level characterization of materials, including approaches based on theory and simulations.
