Scope: Interfaces play an important role in modifying materials properties: structural, electronic, optical and magnetic, etc. The focus of this topic is the advanced characterization of materials interfaces at atomic and nanoscales in metal, alloys, ceramics and polymers by various in situ and ex situ experimental techniques such as raman spectroscopy,x-ray and neutron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This topic also involves the understanding of materials interfaces by theoretical modeling approaches (e.g., finite element analysis, molecular dynamic, and Monte Carlo simulations) that allow the study of these processes on the atomic and molecular levels.
