Research Thrusts Surfaces
and ultrathin films. Emerging technologies
ranging from molecular electronics to high-throughput-analytical
techniques in proteomics will be based on engineering of the chemistry,
structure and electronic properties of surfaces, molecular monolayers
and polymer thin-films. Sensitive techniques that can be used to
elucidate the precise spatial elemental makeup and bonding at surfaces
are absolutely essential for researchers to drive the growth in these
areas. Interfaces within materials. Interfacial composition
and structure play a major role in the bulk properties of materials
and impact their eventual use. In order to understand and manipulate
this important aspect of materials, researchers must have tools that
characterize the morphology, chemical composition, structure and bonding
at interfaces both at surfaces and within the bulk. |
