Dear Colleagues,

we would like to inform you about international conference "Progress in applied surface, interface and thin film science - Solar renewable energy news III" going to be held in Florence, Italy, from May 14 to May 19, 2012.

The main goal of the conference is to contribute to new knowledge in surface, interface, ultra-thin film and very-thin film science of inorganic and organic materials by the most rapid interactive manner – by direct communication among scientists of corresponding research fields. The list of topics indicates that conference interests cover the development of basic theoretical physical and chemical principles and performation of surfaces-, thin films-, and interfaces-related procedures, and corresponding experimental research on atomic scale. Topical results are applied at development of new inventive industrial equipments needed for investigation of electrical, optical, and structural properties, and other parameters of atomic-size research objects.

The conference range spreads, from physical point of view, from fundamental research done on sub-atomic and quantum level to production of devices built on new physical principles. The conference topics include also presentation of principally new devices in following fields: solar cells, liquid crystal displays, high-temperature superconductivity, and sensors.During the event, special attention will be given to evaluation of scientific and technical quality of works prepared by PhD students, to deep ecological meaning of solar cell energy production, and to exhibitons of companies.

Rich social program related with historical monuments and museums of Florence will be organized.

Your participation will be cordially welcomed.

Sincerely yours

Programme and Organizing Committee.
