Surface Science Reports contains invited review papers on experimental and theoretical studies in the physics, chemistry and pioneering applications of surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. It covers topics which contribute to a better understanding of basic phenomena occurring on surfaces and interfaces, but also the application of this knowledge to the development of materials, processes and devices. "Surfaces" is defined in this journal to include all interfaces between solids, liquids, polymers, biomaterials, nanostructures, soft matter, gases and/or vacuum. The journal also contains reviews of experimental techniques and methods used to characterize surfaces and surface processes, e.g. those based upon the interactions of photons, electrons and ions with surfaces.

表面科學(xué)報(bào)告包含了邀請(qǐng)的評(píng)論論文，關(guān)于物理、化學(xué)和表面、界面和納米結(jié)構(gòu)的開創(chuàng)性應(yīng)用的實(shí)驗(yàn)和理論研究。它涵蓋了有助于更好地理解發(fā)生在表面和界面上的基本現(xiàn)象的主題，以及這些知識(shí)在材料、工藝和設(shè)備開發(fā)中的應(yīng)用。本雜志定義的“表面”包括固體、液體、聚合物、生物材料、納米結(jié)構(gòu)、軟物質(zhì)、氣體和/或真空之間的所有界面。該雜志還包括了用于表征表面和表面過程的實(shí)驗(yàn)技術(shù)和方法的綜述，例如基于光子、電子和離子與表面的相互作用的技術(shù)和方法。
