SURFACE REVIEW AND LETTERS

This international journal is devoted to the elucidation of properties and processes that occur at the boundaries of materials. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in experimental and theoretical studies of surfaces and interfaces. Both the physical and chemical properties are covered. The journal also places emphasis on emerging areas of cross-disciplinary research where new phenomena occur due to the presence of a surface or an interface. Representative areas include surface and interface structures; their electronic, magnetic and optical properties; dynamics and energetics; chemical reactions at surfaces; phase transitions, reconstruction, roughening and melting; defects, nucleation and growth; and new surface and interface characterization techniques.

本国际期刊致力于阐明在材料边界处发生的性质和过程。该杂志的范围涵盖了广泛的主题，在实验和理论研究的表面和界面。包括物理和化学性质。该杂志还强调了跨学科研究的新兴领域，即由于表面或界面的存在而出现新现象的领域。代表性区域包括表面和界面结构;它们的电子、磁性和光学特性;动力和能量;表面化学反应;相变、重构、粗化、熔融;缺陷、成核和生长;以及新的表面和界面表征技术。
