Knowledge of atomic structural arrangements and composition at surfaces and buried interfaces is fundamental to our understanding of the function and properties of fabricated thin-film structures. Because of favorable cross sections, x-rays offer a unique opportunity to penetrate through gas, liquid, or solid thin-film overlayers to probe the structure and chemistry of surfaces and internal boundaries on the atomic length scale.

Andy Platt: Organic semiconductor materials have attracted significant attention in recent years as they offer significant advantages over traditional silicon technology including their low cost fabrication and tunability through functionalization of the molecules. Projected uses include polymer lasers, flexible displays, and printable photovoltaic cells.
