The 58th Annual Physical Electronics Conference was held at Penn State from Sunday 14 June to Wednesday 17 June 1998.

The Conference on Physical Electronics provides a forum for the dissemination and thorough discussion of important new research results in the physics and chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. The conference will continue to emphasize basic, fundamental science at the atomic and molecular level. Both experimental and theoretical talks are solicited. Representative topics include the electronic, chemical, vibrational, and crystallographic properties of surfaces and interfaces; the kinetics and dynamics of physical and chemical reactions at surfaces; surface relaxation and phase transitions; adsorption onto and diffusion on surfaces; gas-surface interactions; and the atomistic mechanisms of surface and interface growth. Properties of both clean surfaces and those incorporating foreign atoms are of interest, as are new methods of measuring fundamental properties of surfaces and interfaces.
The conference follows a traditional format of 15-minute oral contributed presentations followed by 5-minute discussion periods. The three-day format of the conference limits the total number of contributed oral presentations to about sixty. Apart from Nottingham Prize contestants (see below), a one-page abstract is the sole written submission required of contributors.
