14th International Conference on

Surface X-ray and Neutron Scattering (SXNS14)

The SXNS-14 (Surface X-ray and Neutron Scattering -14) Conference will be held July 10-14, 2016 at the Charles B. Wang Center on the Stony Brook University (SBU) Campus. The conference is being co-sponsored by SBU and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The SBU campus is located 30-minutes from NSLS-II (BNL). The Wang Center offers a fantastic venue for SXNS-14 with an on-site hotel and reasonably priced dorms, and a campus train station that allows easy access from NYC and JFK.

SXNS-14 will emphasize novel techniques, coherent scattering, instruments and sources for surface x-ray and neutron scattering. Topics will include in-situ and operando surface studies, atomic and molecular systems, interfaces during growth, chemical reactions, and under electrochemical conditions, nanostructured surfaces and interfaces, interfacial dynamics, interfaces and nanostructures, biological and biomaterials interfaces and interfacial magnetism.
