The AMS Focus Topic targets recent developments aimed at unraveling the effects of strong external electric fields on chemical reactivity. External electric fields can be used to alter thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions with as great or better influence than with temperature or pressure alone. It opens new opportunities across fundamental and applied areas in chemistry/material science and brings new perspectives on precision chemistry. The experimental portion focuses on advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to explore field-assisted chemistry (e.g., Atom Probe/Atomic Force Microscopies, Electron holography, and Raman/Stark vibrational spectroscopies, etc.). The theoretical portion focuses on modeling local electric fields (e.g., quantum or classical), underlying these approaches, and their impact on surface and molecular chemical and physical properties.
