Surfaces and interfaces play an enormously important role in nanoscience research. Here we highlight some recent successes in this area and link to LCN researcher pages for more detailed information.
There are a multitude of important chemical and physical processes that occur at surfaces and interfaces, the study of which have proved significant for a number of fields including heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensors, electrical and magnetic devices, as well as material coatings. Thin films of the order of a few nanometres in thickness have been shown to be useful analogues of bulk materials and have also led to the discovery of novel behaviours and properties due to the reduced dimensionality inherent in such systems. In addition, the study of surfaces and thin films has driven the development of a number of technologically advanced experimental techniques that are required to probe and modify such systems down to the scale of single atoms.
