The 13th Surface X-ray and Neutron Scattering conference will take place in 2014 from the 7th to the 11th of July in Hamburg (Germany) on the DESY site in the main auditorium bldg. 05.

 

The scope of SXNS13 is to bring together scientists from different research areas that are using surface sensitive x-ray and neutron scattering and complementary techniques for the characterization of solid and liquid surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures in order to exchange new exciting scientific results and recent developments of the techniques. Special emphasis will be put on in-situ characterization under processing or operation conditions.

 

The following topics will be covered:

• Interfaces during growth
• Electrochemically active interfaces
• Nanostructured surfaces and interfaces
• Interfaces during chemical reactions
• Atomic structure of interfaces
• Dynamics of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures
• Bio-relevant interfaces
• Magnetism at surfaces and interfaces
• Development of novel techniques, instruments and sources
