AVS Publications Library
This online portal offers access to AVS’s five peer-reviewed journals, featuring research articles, reviews, and highlights, along with advanced search tools to locate content by author, keyword, or topic. AVS welcomes manuscript submissions, provides free page charges for members, and actively seeks reviewers, making it an essential resource for researchers in surface science, materials, and related fields.
AVS Quantum Science
AVS Quantum Science (AQS), co-published by AIP Publishing and AVS, is a truly interdisciplinary journal that reaches into a breadth of research areas, from condensed matter and atomic, molecular and optical physics, to biology, chemistry, and materials science, to computer science and engineering, all through the foundations of quantum science.
Biointerphases
Biointerphases (BiP) emphasizes quantitative characterization of biomaterials and biological interfaces. As an interdisciplinary journal, a strong foundation of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, theory, and/or modelling is incorporated into original articles, reviews, and tutorials.
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A (JVST A) is focused on the understanding of interfaces and surfaces of materials, thin films, and plasmas at a fundamental level and to the advancement of state-of-the-art technological applications of surface science and thin film materials science.
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B (JVST B) covers microelectronics and nanotechnology with an emphasis on processing, measurement, and phenomena associated with micrometer and nanometer structures and devices and vacuum science and technology.
Surface Science Spectra
Surface Science Spectra (SSS) is a peer-reviewed hybrid journal/database of spectra published for the benefit of those working in science and technology. Surface Science Spectra features data from the fields of physics, chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, and other topics of interest; and is continuously working towards increasing the range of surface sensitive data available to the research community.
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology
The Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology (JVST) is the official publication of the AVS Science & Technology Society, prior to 1983, when the journal was split into JVST A and JVST B.
