Physical Electronics Conference 2021 - Virtual

Dear Colleagues,

The next Physical Electronics Conference will take place virtually on August 3rd, 2021. It will be a half-day event discussing surface and interface science, focusing on the Nottingham Prize Competition. It is free to register, and there will be a $1500 Prize for the winner of the Nottingham Prize.

We look forward to your participation,

The Physical Electronics Conference provides a yearly forum for the dissemination and discussion of novel and fundamental theoretical and experimental research in the physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering of surfaces and interfaces. The conference draws from cutting edge research in material science; topics include structural, electronic, chemical, magnetic, or topological properties of surfaces and interfaces and thin films; electron correlation or processes of energy, electron, ion, and molecular transfer at surfaces and interfaces at surfaces and interfaces; energetics, kinetics, and dynamics of physical, chemical, and biological transformations; interactions of organic or biological materials; mechanisms of film growth, effects of reduced dimensionality, confinement or patterning. Presentations of Ph.D. thesis research, made by student contestants for the prestigious Nottingham prize ($1,500), are highlighted.

This year, like so much of 2020, will be different. We are holding the event as a virtual Nottingham Prize Competition. Selected contestants are asked to submit a 10-minute video. It is expected that contestants will compete and collaborate during the production process. Ranking will be based on scientific merit, presentation, and engagement.

The prestigious Nottingham Prize was established from contributions given in memory of Professor Wayne B. Nottingham of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by his many friends and associates.
