Dear colleagues,

Abstract submission for the Focus Session on Interfacial Charge, Spin, and Chemical Dynamics in Energy and Quantum Materials at the APS March Meeting in Denver, CO, USA (March 15-20, 2026) is now open until October 23. We would like to invite you to submit your abstract to this session (number 16.01.09, in DCOMP) to highlight recent progress in theory and simulation methods and their application to modeling dynamics at solid-solid interfaces, including 2D materials, topological materials, and solid-gas phase interfaces of relevance to energy and quantum materials, as well as experimental studies to be interpreted through or integrated with such computational approaches.

We expect this session to bring together contributions from research on method development and its application to the simulations of charge, spin, and chemical dynamics and energy, charge, and spin transport through materials interfaces, including those of organic and hybrid organic/inorganic structures and devices. This session will include theory and method development for electron-phonon coupling, spin-orbit interactions, and excited state dynamics for solid surfaces and interfaces, and for machine-learning models for accelerated prediction of complex interfacial dynamics including non-adiabatic processes and quantum coherent phenomena. It will also include experimental studies that elucidate the dynamics and transport at these interfaces.

We look forward to seeing you in Denver,
Oliver Monti, Johannes Voss, Aiichiro Nakano and Duy Le
