Selected AbstractsXIth Latin American Congress of Surface Science and Its Applications (XI CLACSA)PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue S1 2004Patricio Häberle The 2003 "Congreso Latinoamericano de Ciencia de Superficies y sus Aplicaciones" (Latin American Congress of Surface Science and Its Applications) was held in Pucón, Chile, 7,12 December 2003. XI CLACSA is the continuation of a series of events that started in 1980. Until 1992, this series was called "Simposio Latinoamericano de Física de Superficies" (SLAFS). In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, starting in 1994 the meeting became CLACSA. The conference was organized by the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ciencia de Superficies (SLACS) with the purpose of becoming a forum for the exchange of information associated with scientific research carried out in Latin America in the field of surface physics, systems of low dimensionality and areas related to condensed matter physics and science of materials. This scientific event has enjoyed a large participation from Latin American scientists, and has helped to stimulate the collaboration between researchers from Europe, Latin America and the United States.

Sheka Abstract A unified theoretical or computational odd-electrons approach is suggested to nanomaterials, making possible their consideration on the same conceptual basis as well as on the same computational footing. The current paper presents the approach application to the chemistry of fullerenes, carbon single-walled nanotubes, surface science of silicon crystal, as well as to the molecular magnetism of both molecular crystals composed of transitional metal complexes and solid polymerized fullerenes. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007 [source] Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: advancements and applicationsJOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, Issue 6-7 2005Z. Q. Tian Abstract Since the mid-1990s, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has advanced greatly and gained wider application and a renewal of interest. There have been several new and creative developments, e.g. SERS of single molecules, nanostructures and transition metals, tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS), ultraviolet-excited SERS (UV-SERS) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS), and their wide applications in biology, medicine, materials science and electrochemistry. It is timely to publish a special issue reporting these initiatives and the progress made in the past 7 years. This issue consists of 30 invited articles that are roughly divided into three SERS research themes: theories, methods and applications. These up-to-date representatives of the research results clearly show that SERS is important not only for Raman spectroscopy and surface science but also for nanoscience.

[source] Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with ultraviolet excitationJOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, Issue 6-7 2005Xu-Feng Lin Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy excited with a UV laser was successfully developed and the UV,SER spectra of various adsorbates, including pyridine and SCN,, on different transition metal electrodes were obtained. The experimental requirements for obtaining UV,SERS in an electrochemical system are given. The surface enhancement factor of a roughened Rh electrode covered with thiocyanate as a model molecule was estimated to be about two orders of magnitude in the UV region, consistent with our preliminary theoretical calculation based on the electromagnetic model. The investigation of SERS in the UV region will improve the understanding of the SERS enhancement mechanism and broaden the research field of SERS in areas such as surface science and the life sciences.

Doerr Abstract An increasing awareness of the occurrence and implications of soil water repellence has caused a surge in research activity addressing this phenomenon in recent years. This has involved not only the disciplines of hydrology, soil, and related environmental sciences, but increasingly also biology, chemistry, physics, and surface sciences, which has allowed elucidation of the causes and behaviour of soil water repellence based on first order principles. Furthermore, novel approaches and advances in technology have allowed examination of its causes and implications at increasingly coarse and fine spatial and temporal scales. The 19 papers presented in this special issue exemplify this trend by bringing together studies from diverse disciplines and presenting the latest advances regarding the origin, occurrence, controls, hydrological effects, and amelioration of soil water repellence. Here we aim to summarize, evaluate and set into context some of the new insights arising from these studies and also attempt to identify the key current and likely future research gaps related to water repellence in soils.
