ECSCD-10

European Conference on Surface Crystallography and Dynamics 10

 

20th to 22nd September 2010

University of Reading, WhiteKnights Campus

 

*****************************************************************************************************************************

The Conference sessions will be held entirely within the Chemistry Building on the Whitekinghts Campus.  Registration will open from 10am on Monday 20th

*****************************************************************************************************************************

 

ECSCD is a triennial European conference focusing on the atomic-scale structure of clean and adsorbate covered single-crystal surfaces as well as diffusion dynamics at crystal surfaces and the relation between dynamics and structure. In the past, the conference has attracted around 100 participants and has provided a forum for presentation and discussion of recent results and developments in the fields of surface and adsorbate structures, assembly of molecules on surfaces, adatom and molecule diffusion, oxide surfaces and surface oxides, surface alloys, surface stress, surface thermodynamics, self-assembled systems and nanostructuring, magnetic surfaces, surface engineering and surface imaging. The conference series aims in particular at bringing together theoreticians and experimentalists working in these fields.  There will be a number of internationally highly reputed invited speakers as well as young "rising stars".

 

The conference will feature invited and contributed oral presentations and an extended poster session.

Abstract submission for poster presentations is open on a first come first served basis.  Oral submissions closed on the 24th May 2010.

Notification of acceptance will be by 1st June for oral contributions. The early registration deadline is by 31st July.

We can guarantee accommodation if booked before 19th July.
