Support of the Tenth International Conference on Solid Films and Surfaces, Princeton, NJ, July 9-13, 2000

关于固体薄膜和表面的会议将于2000年7月9日至13日在普林斯顿大学举行。固体薄膜和表面以及界面是具有重要技术意义的材料和活动的共同特征，包括制造电子和光电子器件以及传感器。这次会议为介绍和讨论该领域的最新实验和理论进展提供了一个论坛。它是一次为期四天的多会议会议，全体会议总结了各分领域最近的工作。此外，还组织了特邀讲座、特约讲座和海报会议。该计划侧重于以下主题：薄膜和表面的结构、电子和光学性质；薄膜生长和相关主题，如外延和粗化；有机单层和薄膜；宽带隙半导体表面和界面；纳米结构薄膜；氧化、氧化物薄膜和表面；新表征技术；太阳能电池薄膜；薄膜和表面理论。评估固体薄膜和表面以及界面的进展和现状，以及对该领域最重要的发展的最新评估，将对理解表面化学和加强电子/光子材料在计算、数据处理和通信中的利用具有重要价值。这次会议得到了卫生与公众服务部/协会方案的共同支持。***

A conference on solid films and surfaces will be held at Princeton University on July 9-13, 2000. Solid films and surfaces, and interfaces are a common feature of technologically important materials and activities, including the fabrication of electronic and optoelectronic devices, and sensors. This conference provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest experimental and theoretical advances in the field. It is organized as a multiple session conference lasting four days, with plenary talks summarizing recent work in various sub-fields. In addition, invited talks, contributed talks and poster sessions are organized. The program emphasizes the topics: Structural, electronic and optical properties of thin films and surfaces; Thin film growth and related topics, such as epitaxy and roughening; Organic monolayers and films; Wide band gap semiconductor surfaces and interfaces; Nanostructured thin films; Oxidation, oxide films and surfaces; New characterization techniques; Thin films for solar cells; Theory of films and surfaces. %%% An evaluation of the progress and status of solid films and surfaces, and interfaces along with current assessments of the most important developments in this field will be of great value to the understanding of surface chemistry and enhanced utilization of electronic/photonic materials in computing, data processing, and communications. The conference is co-supported by the CHE/ASC propram. ***
