Scope
Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties (STMP) publishes the latest physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering research on applied, functional surfaces. STMP publishes cross-disciplinary work on surface and interface engineering, helping researchers to share common themes on surface properties across an array of different applications.
The journal covers the modelling, design and characterisation of modified surfaces and the structure–function relationship between the surfaces properties and their application.
