Conference Scope
ICSFS 18 in Chemnitz will focus on recent advances in controlling and characterizing the physical and chemical properties of films and surfaces, with a particular emphasis on materials for electronic, photonic and spintronic applications, in addition to bio-functionalized structures and devices ICSFS is strongly interdisciplinary, covering also nano and nano-bio science and technology and metrology, wherever surfaces are involved in the future devices.
