The Applied Surface Science Division provides a forum for research in surface preparation, modification, and utilization for practical applications with a focus on characterization of surfaces, interfaces, and nanomaterials. The Division has long been the premier gathering place for the global community of surface analysts with historic emphasis on techniques such as XPS, SIMS, and Auger spectroscopies. The Division has long-standing analytical interests with traditional sessions such as quantitative surface analysis, industrial problem solving, and advances in the development of techniques for surface analysis. Our contributors present a blend of fundamental research in measurement science along with cutting-edge applied studies in areas such as nanoscience, materials for energy conversion, semiconductor processing, polymers, and biotechnology. The Division strives to grow in new areas for future development in applied surface analysis and analytical data processing. At AVS 67 the Division is sponsoring 8 oral sessions, a poster session, and an On Demand session (for presenters who will not be able to attend the symposium in-person). Highlights include invited presentations by both the 2020 and 2021 Peter M.A. Sherwood Mid-Career Award winners, a memorial session for Charles S. Fadley, who passed away on August 1, 2019 and was a pioneer in the development of XPS, and the division’s Business Meeting and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday evening, October 26, 2021, which will include a module presentation by this year’s winner of the Division’s student award competition.
