Early Registration and Hotel Deadline: December 4

The 52nd Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-52) will be held at the Salt Lake City Marriott University Park, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, from Sunday afternoon, January 17, 2027, through Thursday noon, January 21, 2027.The annual PCSI conference is devoted to achieving a fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, structural, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. These studies include novel growth processes and interfacial phenomena, new characterization tools, transport, and functionality of the structures for future devices. Generous amounts of discussion time will be included in the program in order to emphasize the workshop character and to stimulate the exchange of new ideas. > View Invited Speakers
