The sectionnamed, Surfaces and Interfaces, of the journal CurrentPhysics publishes original research articles, letters,reviews/mini-reviews, and guest-edited thematic issues on various topicsrelated to surfaces and interfaces.
This section is notlimited to a specific aspect of the field but is instead devoted to a widerange of sub-fields in the area. Articles of interdisciplinary nature areparticularly welcome. Submissions in the following areas are of specialinterest to the readers of this journal:
· Analytical techniques for probing and analyzing surfaces and interfaces.
· Interfacial engineering at the coating-substrate interface for tools,dies, and molds.
· Interfacial engineering of multilayer thin films and optical coatings.
· Nanostructured and functionalized surfaces and interfaces for biologicaland engineered applications.
· Physical and chemical fundamentals of surfaces and interfaces.
· Physical and chemical processing of surfaces and interfaces to achievenew functionality.
· Surfaces and interfaces phenomena occurred at the energy storage and inproduction devices.
· Techniques forsurface modification of materials at submicron scale for industrial, energy,and environmental applications.
