Despite remarkable progress in plasma research over the recent decade quantitative knowledge of the plasma-solid boundary in low-temperature plasmas is still scarce, as there both, experiment and theory face tremendous difficulties. The effect of the solid on the plasma is usually treated purely phenomenologically, e.g. via electron and ion sticking coefficients, secondary electron emission (gamma) coefficients and similar parameters that are, in general, very poorly known. This is not only unsatisfactory, from the point of view of fundamental science, but also lacks predictive power that is needed to boost the potential of existing plasma applications and to discover new ones. Therefore, the Kiel initiative The Plasma Interface aims at overcoming these problems, in a unique concerted interdisciplinary effort of plasma physicists, researchers from condensed matter physics, chemistry and material science. This contribution gives an overview on the experimental and theoretical activities that are presently organized at Kiel University, with substantial contributions from Greifswald researchers.
