Review article on charge control of semiconductor surfacesMonday, 09 February 2026 14:03 |
The review paper by Stanisław Krukowski, Paweł Kempisty and Paweł Strak, entitled "Charge control of semiconductor surfaces as elucidated by ab initio calculations – A review" has just been published in Progress in Surface Science 101(1), 100809 (2026), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.progsurf.2025.100809. The paper reviews 15 years of research progress on the role of electric charge at semiconductor surfaces, highlighting how this work has contributed to the development of new scientific concepts in the field. Notably, much of the advancement stems from the conceptual, computational, and analytical efforts of scientists at IHPP PAS. Congratulations to the team, and we encourage readers to explore this review article.
