Chemical and physical processes occurring at surfaces and gas-liquid, solid-liquid, and gas/plasma-solid interfaces are crucial for many applications, and yet their analysis often represents grand scientific and engineering challenges. The Chemical Analysis and Imaging at Interfaces Focus Topic symposium is designed as a cross-disciplinary “melting pot” and aims to disseminate the latest developments in experimental methods and understanding of the interfacial physical and chemical processes relevant (but not limited) to materials synthesis, microfabrication, energy/catalysis research, biomedical applications, environmental sciences, and surface modifications, to name a few. In particular, in (ex-) situ/in vivo/operando chemical imaging, microscopy and spectroscopy studies using electron, X-ray, ion, and neutron beams as well as optical methods and synchrotron radiation/ FEL facilities are strongly encouraged. Attention will also be paid to correlative spectroscopy and microscopy methods, modern image/spectra processing, and AI-enabling data analytics techniques. Contributions are invited including but not limited to experimental, fundamental research, industrial R&D, novel analytical techniques/approaches, and metrology of realistic surfaces and interfaces.
