Journals

Applied Surface Science
... is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of properties, determined with multiple surface analytical techniques, as well as the processing and application of these structures. Elsevier

Progress in Surface Science
The papers are aimed at surface scientists and cover various aspects of surface science. Elsevier

Surface and Coatings Technology
... is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments. Elsevier

Surface and Interface Analysis
... is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with the development and application of techniques for the characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. Wiley-Interscience

Surface Science
... deals exclusively with fundamental experimental and theoretical studies in the physics and chemistry of surfaces. Elsevier

Surface Science Reports
Review papers on the properties of surfaces and interfaces of metals, semiconductors and insulators. The emphasis is on fundamental aspects of solid and liquid interfaces, their atomic and electronic structure. Elsevier

Thin Solid Films
... is an international journal which serves scientists and engineers working in the fields of thin-film synthesis, characterization, and applications. The field of thin films, which can be defined as the confluence of materials science, surface science, and applied physics, has become an identifiable unified discipline of scientific endeavor. Elsevier

Vacuum
Typical papers cover new developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, kinetic theory, gas-surface interactions, surface analysis, plasma and ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, ion implantation, surface modification and coating industry, PVD, CVD and ion/plasma-assisted PVD/CVD. Elsevier

Organisations

ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry
The research interests of the Division members are inherently interdisciplinary and diverse, e.g., our members investigate the interaction of surfaces with fluids having molecular densities spanning the range from liquids to ultra-high vacuum
