Surface and Interface Science, 2 Vols.

16Covering interface science from a novel surface science perspective, this seven-volume handbook offers a comprehensive overview of both these and numerous other topics.The initial chapters treat basic fundamentals on such topics as vacuum technology, while general chapters -- where appropriate -- describe theoretical methods and provide models to help explain the respective phenomena, such as band structure calculations, chemisorption and segregation. Additionally, short references to more specialized methodology accompany the descriptions of the most important techniques. Ideal as a reference for scientists in the field, as well as an introduction to current methods for newcomers.04Volume 1: Concepts and MethodsVolume 2: Properties of Elemental SurfacesVolume 3: Properties of Composite Surfaces: Alloys, Compound Semiconductors, CompoundsVolume 4: Solid-Solid Interfaces and Thin FilmsVolume 5: Solid-Gas Interfaces IVolume 6: Solid-Gas Interfaces IIVolume 7: Solid/Liquid and Inorganic/Biological InterfacesVolume 8: Applications of Surface Science
