PCSI 2027: Surface and Interface Physics in Salt Lake City

PCSI-52 is the 52nd edition of the annual Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces, organized by the AVS Science and Technology Society. The meeting runs from Sunday afternoon, January 17, through Thursday noon, January 21, 2027, at the Salt Lake City Marriott University Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. The program focuses on fundamental understanding of physical, chemical, biological, structural, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. Topics span novel growth processes and interfacial phenomena, new characterization tools, transport, and functionality of structures for future devices. The workshop-style format includes substantial discussion time to encourage exchange of new ideas among researchers, engineers, and industry participants. Key deadlines include the abstract deadline on October 7, 2026, author acceptance notifications on October 30, 2026, and early registration on December 4, 2026. Attendees typically stay at the Salt Lake City Marriott University Park, where a limited block of rooms is available at $190 per night until December 4, 2026.
