U.S. mailing address: | Laboratory for Surface Modification, Nanophysics Lab, Room 210, 136 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8019 |
Purpose of center: | The mission of the Laboratory for Surface Modification is to provide a focus for research in basic and applied studies of high technology surfaces and interfaces. Surface modification encompasses a broad spectrum of structural and chemical phenomena that occur on the surfaces of solids. Surface modification at the atomic level requires the overlap of many disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, materials science, and using these newly designed surfaces for technological applications involves several engineering efforts in electrical, chemical, biochemical and biomedical engineering. |
