Prof. Manos' group has performed research in the fundamental science which underlies the formation and characterization of surfaces and interfaces with particular specialized properties. These properties include resistance to corrosion, reduced friction, pre-determined electrical properties, such as the production of high-quality, high-value-added superconducting or semiconducting thin films, specialized reflectors or absorbers for light, heat, or x-rays, and so forth. Research included plasma-surface interactions, surface cleaning and passivation, surface modification by particle and photon bombardment, and many other areas of fundamental and applied importance.
