Proceedings of the Topical Meeting on the Microphysics of Surfaces, Beams and Adsorbates held in Santa Fe, New Mexico on 4-6 February 1985

The Topical Meeting on Microphysics of Surfaces, Beams, and Adsorbates was organized within the interdisciplinary area of molecule/surface interactions induced, or studied, by laser and ion beam techniques. Especially emphasized was the molecular physics and electromagnetism of beam activated chemical reactions for applications in fabrication of semiconductor devices, in photocatalysis, and in optical recording. Emphasis was on the laser spectroscopy of molecular collision and reaction processes on surfaces, new sensitive or high resolution spectroscopies for studies of adsorbates, and optical methods applied to surface characterization.
