We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection New Trends and Challenges in Surface Phenomena, Carbon Nanostructures and Helium Droplets – Festschrift for Giorgio Benedek is now online and free to access until March 2023.
Professor Benedek is a very well-known surface physicist, Emeritus Professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca and is still actively publishing today. He has contributed and is still contributing significantly to the study of surface phenomena, in particular to elementary surface vibrational excitations, atom-surface scattering, clusters grown on metal surfaces, chemical reactions at surfaces, electron-phonon interaction in topological insulators and semimetals, non-adiabatic effects, carbon nanostructures, graphene, helium droplets and quantum liquids, superfluidity, collective electronic excitations, covering experimental and theoretical aspects of all of these research lines. Giorgio has impressively remained at the forefront of many of these fields, and we are delighted to recognise his contributions with this Festschrift issue intended to cover the all low-dimensional systems and surface phenomena.
Guest Edited by Professor Marco Bernasconi, Professor Ricardo Díez-Muiño, Professor Pedro M. Echenique, Professor Joseph R. Manson, Professor Salvador Miret-Artés and Professor J. Peter Toennies, this collection reviews the very recent achievements in understanding of all low-dimensional systems and surface phenomena.
