PCSI-51 Technical Program

The 51st Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-51) will be held at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, from Sunday afternoon, January 25, 2026, through Thursday noon, January 29, 2026.

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.
