Bücher der Reihe Springer Series in Surface Sciences

This book provides the first complete and up-to-date summary of the state of the art in HAXPES and motivates readers to harness its powerful capabilities in their own research. In consideration of the rapid development of the technique, several chapters include highlights illustrating future opportunities as well.

This book gives a representative survey of the state of the art of research on gas-surface interactions. The book presents how modern surface science targets the atomic-level understanding of physical and chemical processes at surfaces, with particular emphasis on dynamical aspects.

This book, authored by a team of expert Chinese and international authors, covers many aspects of modern electron microscopy, from the architecture of novel electron microscopes, advanced theories and techniques in TEM and sample preparation, to a variety of hands-on examples of TEM applications.

Surface crystallography plays the same fundamental role in surface science which bulk crystallography has played so successfully in solid-state physics and chemistry.

This monograph deals with the kinetics of adsorption and desorption of molecules physisorbed on solid surfaces. To keep this monograph to a reasonable size, and also to allow for some unity in the presentation of the material, we had to omit a number of topics related to physisorption kinetics.

The second workshop on Desorption Induced by Electronic Transitions (DIET II) took place October 15-17, 1984, in SchloB Elmau, Bavaria. While DIET I had the function of an exposition of the status of the field DIET II focussed more on new developments.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy I provides a unique introduction to a novel and fascinating technique that produces beautiful images of nature on an atomic scale. It is the first of three volumes that together offer a comprehensive treatment of scanning tunneling microscopy, its diverse applications, and its theoretical treatment.

Over the nearly 20 years of Kelvin probe force microscopy, an increasing interest in the technique and its applications has developed. Surface potential studies on semiconductor materials, nanostructures and devices are described, as well as application to molecular and organic materials.

This book gives a representative survey of the state of the art of research on gas-surface interactions. The book presents how modern surface science targets the atomic-level understanding of physical and chemical processes at surfaces, with particular emphasis on dynamical aspects.

This unified overview of recent progress in a growing, multi-disciplinary field places special emphasis on the industrial applications of magnetic multilayered materials. The text describes a wide range of physical aspects, together with experimental and theoretical methods.

Theindividual chapters - all written by experts in the field -are devoted to the investigation of surface structure,defect shapes and concentrations, the interaction potential,collective and localized surface vibrations at low energies,phase transitions and surface diffusion.

This book deals with the latest achievements in the field of optical coherent microscopy. The coherent light microscopy reference provided here does not focus on the experimental mechanics of such techniques but instead is meant to provide a users manual to illustrate the strengths and capabilities of developing techniques.

It outlines contemporary trends in the field covering a wide range of topical areas: atomic structure of surfaces and interfaces, molecular films and polymer adsorption, biologically inspired nanophysics, surface design and pattern formation, and computer modeling of interfacial phenomena.

In modern scanning electron microscopy, sample surface preparation is of key importance. This book presents the procedures for sample surface preparation, thereby facilitating unprecedented capabilities with advanced scanning electron microscopes.

Surfaces and interfaces play an increasingly important role in today's solid state devices. The emphasis of the book is on semiconductor surfaces and interfaces but it also includes a thorough treatment of transition metals, a general discussion of phonon dispersion curves, and examples of large computational calculations.

This unified overview of recent progress in a growing, multi-disciplinary field places special emphasis on the industrial applications of magnetic multilayered materials. The text describes a wide range of physical aspects, together with experimental and theoretical methods.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique for surface analysis with atomic resolution. The book appeals to researchers, advanced students and analysts in industrial laboratories.

This guide to the use of surface analysis techniques, now in its second edition, has expanded to include more techniques, current applications and updated references.
