International Symposium on Spectro-Microscopy of Functional Materials and Interfaces
Chiba, Japan, 28 October 2019




Place  
Chiba University   Nishi-Chiba campus  
Engineering Research Building II   (T19,工学総合研究棟2, Bldg 10 on map)   2nd Floor, Conference Room
Organisation: Peter Krüger   Secretary: Yuri Shinozuka

Deadline
for registration and abstract submission (extended):   13 October 2019

Scope  
Functionalization of surfaces and interfaces at the nanometer scale through chemical doping and adsorption makes it possible to design novel materials for targeted properties. Nanoscale microscopy is crucial to control and analyze the novel materials. When combined with high resolution spectroscopic techniques such X-ray absorption, Electron Energy Loss, Scanning Gate Microscopy and Photoelectron Diffraction, a thorough analysis of the local structural, chemical and electronic structure is achieved. The aim of this symposium is to bring together international experts of different spectrocopic and microscopic analysis techniques for interface and materials science, including theorists, in order to create a synergy and discuss latest developments and future avenues in spectro-microscopy.
